The Renfrew Millionaires - The Valley Boys of Winter - 1910
It was a time when small towns could still challenge for the Stanley Cup, the holy grail of Canadian hockey. The O'Briens of Renfrew, Ontario, father M.J. and son Ambrose, formed their own league, the National Hockey Association, owned four of the five teams and founded the Montreal Canadiens. Money appeared to be no object. Top players Lester and Frank Patrick, Fred "Cyclone" Taylor and "Newsy" Lalonde were paid large salaries with the objective of winning the Cup. The effort fell just short but the NHA continued and morphed into the NHL in 1917 but in 1910 Renfrew was the centre of the hockey universe. The team's name was the "Creamery Kings" but a newspaper christened them the Millionaires after the players were paid off in cash before leaving for their trip to New York in what was billed as a world championship tournament. The Millionaires won that and were declared "world champions"

The Asterisk Years 2.0
The Asterisk Years: The Edinburgh Establishment versus Celtic tells the story of the advantages that Rangers held over the rest of Scottish football in the years they were under the control of David Murray. With the help of the Edinburgh Establishment, Murray was able to cultivate relationships that would allow Rangers to financially dope the Scottish Premier League for over twenty years but would ultimately lead to their death and his fall from grace. In a new section of the book, the author tells the background to the story and the obstacles to getting it out there. The author also describes what it was like to tour the film of the book all around the world. Fully updated to include the HMRC win in the "Big Tax Case", this is a story of privilege, class and the old school tie laced with fear and loathing as David Murray's dream that trampled over Celtic but would ultimately become Rangers nightmare.

Don't worry about things like ability, athleticism or experience, they are already in your report..."

What sort of culture allows institutional bias to go on for decades? Probably the sort that allows the Lanarkshire Referees Association to have a policy of recruitment designed to ensure anyone but Celtic win football matches. Welcome to Scotland...

The Last of the Wild West Cowgirls
She never shot a husband who didn't deserve it. A small band of Wild West cowgirls rode into stardom around the turn of the 20th century, earning nearly as much as the cowboys in the traveling shows and often out-performing them. At a time when women were discouraged from working outside the home or exercising, the Wild West cowgirls became fabulously popular stars who drew huge audiences and fans. Women around the world admired them for their audacity to lead lives outside the norm. They are some of history's forgotten women.Goldie Griffith was one of that group of early professional female athletes. She performed tricks and rode bucking broncos for the most famous showman of the time, Buffalo Bill. At the age of 19, she was married during one of his Wild West shows at Madison Square Garden before a crowd of 8,000 whistling and stomping fans. A few years later, she discovered that her cowboy husband had already been married when they wed, and she pulled out her gun. A WILLA Literary Award finalist for creative non-fiction.
The Legend of Willie, Mickey & the Duke
During the 1950s, they played centerfield in New York ballparks only a few miles apart. The comparisons were inevitable. From Brooklyn soda fountains to Queens street corners to Manhattan boardrooms, the argument raged: who was the greatest-Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, or Duke Snider? The trajectories of their lives were similar. They were born into the game and taught by their baseball-playing fathers at an early age. All three dreamed of baseball greatness-dreams that came at a cost. When they signed to play professional baseball, they were each hyped to become the greatest players in the game. The pressure to live up to these expectations took a heavy toll on them. The story of Willie, Mickey & the Duke is the story of three superb athletes who became baseball legends--what it did for them and what it did to them.

Punching Back
In the Netherlands, girls and young women are increasingly active in women-only kickboxing. The general assumption, in the Netherlands and in western Europe more broadly, is that women's sport is a form of secular, feminist empowerment. Muslim women's participation would then exemplify the incongruence of Islam with the modern, secular nation-state. Punching Back provides a detailed ethnographic study that contests this view.
Putting a Different Spin On It
I began coaching Cricket formally in 1992, yet at the time I merely tutored players in the technicalities that I knew and with the love and the passion that I had for the Game. Soon however, my burning interest in sports and performance psychology rather took over and I became very much a maverick coach, working with players of all ages, yet from an alternative and somewhat Left-field perspective. Along the way I have experienced some very interesting and off-the-wall happenings in the course of my coaching. "Putting a Different Spin on it" is a collected Casebook of those encounters along the less-travelled road of Coaching Cricket from an Alternative Perspective.
