Forever Boys
Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year 2015 Sometimes you love a football team not only for their strengths, the splendour of their play and the appealing thrust of their character, but also the haunting possibility that their best hopes may never be fulfilled. This has rarely been demonstrated so vividly as by the Manchester City team who briefly, but unforgettably, illuminated the late sixties. And no one was more caught up in their struggles and their triumphs than James Lawton, a young sportswriter starting out on a career that would take him to all the great events of world sport. Yet still, 50 years after Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison began to shape the brilliant team, he counts watchin...
A Ringside Affair
For three decades at the end of the twentieth century -- throughout boxing's most engrossing era -- James Lawton was ringside, covering every significant bout, spending time with the likes of Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hitman Hearns, Roberto Duran, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield and many other great fighters. A Ringside Affair brings that brilliant epoch back to life -- and puts it in the perspective it deserves. It salutes the epic quality of boxing's last years of glory, retraces arguably the richest inheritance bequeathed to any sport, and speculates on the possibility that we will never see such fighting again. It is part celebration, part lament, but perhaps most of all it is a personal record of some of most enthralling and challenging days produced by the world's oldest sport.
On Cricket
In a career which has included coverage of Test cricket at home and abroad, James Lawton has had the opportunity to observe and get to know such legends as Botham, Lara, Warne, McGrath, Tendulkar and Ponting. In 2000 James Lawton became Chief Sports Writer of The Independent and his column is among the most admired and celebrated of the last decade. He has won multiple awards, including Sports Journalist of the year, Sports Columnist of the Year and Sports Writer of the Year, a title he holds currently. Introduced by Michael Atherton, former England cricket captain.
On Football
From the age of 19, James Lawton traveled the UK and Europe with the great teams of English football, the Manchester United of Sir Matt Busby, the Liverpool of Bill Shankly, and the rising power, Don Revie's Leeds United. In 2000 he became Chief Sports Writer of The Independent and his column has become amongst the most admired of sports writing in the last decade bringing him not only a large and loyal readership but also awards. This is a selection of his best writing.

Good Morning!
Bishop Jim Thompson's well-known greeting of 'Good morning!' is familiar to millions of BBC Radio 4 listeners. His broadcasts for 'Thought for the Day', a slot in the Today programme, reflect the key concerns of our times - coping with crime and wrong-doing, understanding God's will for the world, and the response to disasters and suffering - with sensitivity, hope and humour. This selection of the Bishop's 'Thoughts for the Day' from the past ten years serves as a vivid reminder of recent events and of the broadcasts themselves. We're drawn close by the warm anecdotes of children and animals, and we're encouraged to ponder as we read of people coping in difficult circumstances, in the city and in the countryside, in the United Kingdom and abroad.
