What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In this eloquently irreverent volume of memoirs, celebrated broadcaster and writer Brian Glanville looks back over his career as sports journalist with a wealth of anecdotes and a crop of unique stories. Following a spell in Rome as English correspondent with "Corriere dello Sport," Brian returned in 1958 to London to cover his first World Cup in Sweden. He hasn't missed one since, and this personal and revealing collection sheds light on over 50 years of life in the commentary box. Notorious for his forthright views and lack of apprehension in expressing them, Glanville has made as many, if not more, enemies than friends; his accrimonious relationship with former England boss Graham Taylor is well known and is documented in the book. But he also refuses to pull his punches about others. Brian Glanville's compelling commentary on the changing face of sport is an all-round story of one man's obsession with the beautiful game.
