DOWNLOAD EBOOKBeing a football fan involves so much passion, pleasure and it must be said - pain. This book is a selection of one Southampton FC fan's highlights over more than 50 years. It's as much about what it's like to be a proud and passionate Saint, with very human experiences, as it is a history of the football club. All fans are different and Richard provides a personal tongue in cheek tale of the best (and the worse) of the games and eras from 1964 to date. You will share the old Dell Days, "Give it to Ron", hooliganism, crazy away japes, European adventures, 1976 and all that, Le Tiss, the old Enemy (not Bournemouth), thise great Rickie and Nigel League One days, more recent times and look forward with Richard's next generation of Saints, in the form of his grandsons, already fully inducted as Saints! The book is a must for Saints fans who will love the memories and story-telling nature of this 50 plus year's history of Being a Saint and all that pain, passion and pleasure.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI once was led to believe that the United States of America and the Vatican coulddo no wrong. Th en one day south of the border I realized that Uncle Sam was not such a nice guy, and the pope wasnt either. U.S. troops and advisors ran the Banana Republics, propped up dictators and trained the military to oppress the poor. In those days, the Catholic Church hierarchy in Latin America mostly sided with the status quo, dictators, military and wealthy. But in 1968, the bishops dramaticallydeclared a preferential option for the poor and later embraced liberation theology,aiming to bring heaven down to earth. It sounded a lot like Marxism to the Vatican,especially to Pope John Paul II, a staunch opponent of communism. He set out to appoint only bishops who were hostile to liberation theology. Pope Benedict XVI followed suit. Pope Francis, however, once a slum priest in Argentina, gave new life to the movement which was born and raised in Latin America. Most of the characters profiled in this book subscribe to a version of liberation theology and a preference for the poor. Th eir honor roll includes Ivan Illich and Ted Hesburgh, Salvador Allende and Samuel Ruiz, Oscar Romero and Daniel Ortega, Fidel Castro and Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and an actual, canonized Chilean priest named Alberto Hurtado. The reader may decide who is a saint and who is a sinner.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTelling the story of Saints football in New Orleans is a way to understand larger social, political and economic conditions during pivotal moments of the city's history. This book is the first to explore the team's role in rebuilding the city following Hurricane Katrina. The author documents New Orleans' initial efforts to attract professional football, the Katrina disaster and some successes and failures during 10 years of post-disaster recovery. The narrative of community recovery and cohesion crafted by Saints fans transcends racial divides and illustrates the relationship between professional sports and the American city. The voices of female fans--largely overlooked in the study of sports--compel a more inclusive definition of football fandom.
