If you are a man/woman who:
loves sports
loves people of sublime character
loves sporting moments in life for generations to remember
then this book is a MUST-READ for you. Enjoy!
In times of "dog eat dog world", "winner takes it all, no matter what circumstances", excessive match fixing, bending the rules, doping scandals, diving, etc., this book will bring into your soul true and pure role models and world of sports will never be the same again for you. You will perceive it differently and adore only those sportsmen who deserve it. Not all winners do. One intuitively feels that it's not the way the things should be. This books will give you plenty of evidence how (sporting) competition should be carried out.

Honestly one of the worst books I've ever read. I had the misfortune to purchase this for an inflated price from a bookstore at an airport - wow, was I disappointed. The entire book is so obviously written by a biased English author. This book attempts to funny - and fails, miserably. What a disgrace. Frankly I wanted my money back!!! I only read this tripe because I was stuck in a capsule for a few hours. Pathetic.
