A Man For All Seasons
In these days of highly-paid football celebrities, Brian Owen isn't a household name, yet over the course of the last six decades he has become the only man to have held four different positions; player, coach, scout and physiotherapist in all four divisions of the English Football League. This fascinating autobiography documents the fifty-five year career of a man whose face is well known at several professional clubs, and details Owen's journey from promising young player to backroom legend. Owen’s infectious wit and wisdom means he has an unmatched store of anecdotes. He has seen it all, from the gritty surroundings of the lower divisions to the glamour of travelling with the senior England squad. After recording a lifetime of memories, Owen teams up with sportswriter Rob Hadgraft to tell his story in A Man for All Seasons. Containing fitting forewords by David Pleat and Phil Parkinson, this book pays tribute to one of the most popular, funniest and down-to-earth professionals ever to be involved with the beautiful game and is a must-read for football fans everywhere.
Tearing the Veil
This a collection of essays about women, by women, which examine the production of femininity within a patriarchal society. The essays show that characteristics generally considered to be 'feminine' are in fact cultural constructions within a patriarchal order. The patriarchal culture is taken by us to be a system of meanings, as well as power relations, which pervades our view of women at both a conscious and an unconscious level. The symbolism of the rituals, myths, art works and polemics examined in the essays is related to the ways women are psychically constructed and constrained by the dominant heterosexual order. The Mother, the Witch, the Whore, the Pure Woman, the Amazon and the Free Woman are considered and the contributors make extensive use of original source material to give force to the argument that the stereotypic view of a feminine woman as naturally and inevitably weak, passive and powerless is one that can be seriously challenged.

We're The Super White Army
In 1988, Adam Ford became a supporter of Tranmere Rovers, Merseyside's 'deadly submarine' of a football club. That was a great time to be a fan. In August 2014, when the Palioses first took over the club, it wasn't such a great time to be a fan. Relegation out of the Football League soon followed, and things looked desperate. But the Palioses had a plan to unleash the power of the 'Super White Army' to turn things on the pitch, off the pitch, and in underprivileged communities of Wirral. This is the story of how all that happened, and how Tranmere Rovers is now a club on the up once more. Featuring interviews with staff, former players, and - most importantly - many members of the Super White Army themselves, the book combines features on developments at Prenton Park over the last few years, with a blow-by-blow account of the incredible 2017/18 season, which saw Rovers promoted back to the football league.
