Interesting biography. "Warts and all" doesn't begin to cover it - turns out one of the great British mountaineers was a complete arsehole.

Being a fly-on-the-wall account of the (supposedly) worst football team in Britain, viz., East Stirlingshire, propping up Scotland's Third Division. It's a great story and very well-told. Bonus points for the cover photo.

In Wide Eyed and Legless, Jeff Connor (a former fell-running champion-turned-journalist) is sent to ride the Tour stages ahead of the race and also report on the ill-fated ANC-Halfords team, under-prepared and under-financed, as it falls apart during the race. One of the best accounts of a team on a tour. The sprinter Malcolm Elliott - one of the three who made it to Paris - said later that he signed for a Spanish team so he'd never have to ride the Tour de France again.

Yet another climbing biography by Jeff Connor: written in fastidious and intellectual style. A very thorough study of a very interesting climber.
