The Beautiful Poetry of Football Commentary - Charlie Eccleshare

Descriere The Beautiful Poetry of Football Commentary - Charlie Eccleshare

\n \nRoma have risen from their ruins! \nManolas, the Greek God in Rome! \nThe unthinkable unfolds before our eyes. \nThis was not meant to happen, this could not happen . . . this is happening! \nPeter Drury \n \nIf football is the beautiful game, then commentators are its poets. \n \nWhether it's the brevity of Barry Davies, the boundless enthusiasm of Clive Tyldesley or the sheer eloquence of Peter Drury's monologues, the canon of football commentary is replete with memorable lines that would have some of the great classical orators nodding in appreciation. Curated by football journalist Charlie Eccleshare, The Beautiful Poetry of Football Commentary is a glorious anthology of iconic lines, set out as poems, celebrating the best commentators that have ever graced a microphone. Each poem is accompanied by 'scholarly' analysis capturing the enduring power of language on the beautiful game. \n \nSo, drink it in, and immerse yourself in classic verse from Ali Brownlee, Andy Gray, Brian Moore, David Coleman, John Motson, Jon Champion, Jonathan Pearce, Kenneth Wolstenholme, Martin Tyler, and many more. \n \n----- \n \nIt is a privilege to be part of this excellent work - Martin Tyler \nThere have been some brilliant lines of commentary down the years and Charlie's academic deconstruction of them is terrific. - Peter Drury\n
