Before 2012

by Ross Paterson

Before 2012 is a sports book telling five fictional stories of British sporting defeats. British sport is riding the crest of a wave at the moment. From the London Olympics to the Tour de France to Wimbledon, British sporting success has reached unprecedented levels in the past few years. But it was not always like this. In the post-war era British sport has experienced the dejection of defeat more than the elation of victory. This book chronicles some of these defeats, which the reader will definitely have missed first time round. This is a topical, entertaining book about sport offering a differing perspective on the recent run of success. To truly appreciate the recent British victories, it is necessary to understand what went before.
