Micky Adams
Micky Adams has a football CV as long as your arm, having put in 438 appearances as a full-back - for teams such as Gillingham, Leeds, Fulham and Southampton, followed by a management career that took in over a dozen clubs at every tier of English football. As a manager, Adams took the helm at some of the biggest clubs in the English football, including Leicester City, Brighton & Hove Albion, Nottingham Forest, Coventry City, Port Vale and Fulham, winning four promotions and a league title, as well as a reputation for bringing success and stability in often difficult environments. In this extraordinary autobiography, written with veteran sports writer and long-time friend Neil Moxley, Micky Adams reveals the truth behind incidents on and off the pitch, including what really happened at La Manga, where three Leicester City players were accused of sexual assault during a mid-season training break, and what it was like to play with Alan Shearer and Matt Le Tissier in one of the most enduring careers in football.

No owners... Five players under contract...In administration... Not even a kit to play in... Is it any wonder that Port Vale FC were written off as 18th favourites for promotion at the start of the 2012-2013 season? But by the end of a memorable campaign, the club had been promoted, finished as the division's top scorers and a life-long Vale fan was the club's top goalscorer. How on earth did that happen? Rob Fielding, editor of the award-winning Port Vale website onevalefan.co.uk chronicles one of the most extraordinary seasons in the long history of Port Vale FC. A contribution to charity will be made for every book sold.
The Hull City Miscellany
Did you know: Hull City is the only team in the English Football League which hasn't got a single letter that you can colour in? City's early matches were played at The Boulevard, the old home of rugby league side Hull FC? Up to 2008, the nation's favourite trivia quiz question was: which is the largest city in England to have never had a team in the top division? The answer, of course, was Hull – but promotion in May 2008 rendered the question defunct and the search is now on for an updated version. The Hull City Miscellany – a book on the Tigers like no other, packed with facts, stats, trivia, stories and legend. Now, with the club tasting previously uncharted highs, look back at what has made this club what it is today – the players and characters that have represented City over the years and the events that have shaped the club. If you want to know the record crowd for a home game, the record appearance holder or longest-serving manager, look no further – this is the book you've been waiting for. From record goal scorers, to record defeats; from Boothferry Park to Dean Windass – it's all in The Hull City Miscellany – can you afford not to own a copy?
Coventry City
Coventry City fans had plenty to be happy about in the late 1990s. They had been a top-flight side for more than three decades, and they were graced with a team of glittering international stars such as Robbie Keane, Gary McAllister and Mustapha Hadji. The future appeared bright with the promise of a huge new multi-purpose stadium - including a retractable roof and removable pitch - that would make the club self-sustainable. Fast-forward another 15 years and the club found itself with no stadium to call its own, playing in front of tiny crowds some 35 miles away from the club's home city. Coventry City: A Club Without a Home\i is a journey through one of the most turbulent times in the history of the Sky Blues, told by those caught in the eye of the storm.
