Items related to SPORTING PROFILES
By the author of "Sporting Lives", this is a further collection of the author's articles on sport taken from "The Daily Telegraph". It contains pieces on football, golf, cricket, rugby, tennis, rowing and motor racing. It describes sporting championships and the travelling freak show that surrounds the teenage superstars - Jennifer Capriati or newcomer Martina Hingis - and deprives them of a childhood. It profiles many of the greatest sporting figures of our times, from Fred Perry, Jackie Stewart, George Best and Denis Compton to Nick Faldo, Mike Atherton, Steve Redgrave and Rory Underwood.

Review:
From the Back Cover:
“Top quality sports journalism which transfers very successfully to tape.”
Suffolk Journal January 1997
A selection from Michael Parkinson's award-winning series of interviews and features in the 'Daily Telegraph', compromising a unique gallery of profiles of sporting heroes past and present.
There are revealing conversations with star players at the peak of their sporting lives: an unusually talkative Ellery Hanley before his fifth Wembley final and a refreshing Laura Davies, number 1 in the world and still talking about fun. There is the cricketer Derek Randall, in his 22nd and final season with Notts and a fascinating encounter with the legendary George Best: Some vintage dazzlers such as Denis Compton, Tom Finney and Keith Miller, an affectionate portrait of the great Dickie Bird – twitchy but full of laughter, the best umpire in the world, his hunched figure sculpted by a life-time's dedication to cricket, and a posthumous tribute to departed giant Bobby Moore who epitomized the very best of British football and the highest ideals of sportsmanship.
