Walter Camp: The Father of American Football, first published in 1926 is an inspirational look at the life of Walter Chauncey Camp (1859-1925), who restructured football from its rugby roots to the form familiar today. Camp's innovations included creating the scrimmage line, the 11-man team, signal-calling and the quarterback position; he also was the originator of the rule whereby a team had to give up the ball unless it had advanced a specified number of yards within a set number of downs. Included are four pages of photographs, an appendix listing players of All-America teams of the period, and information on Camp's series of 12 exercises known as the “Daily Dozen.”

Fathers, sons, and sports are enduring themes of American literature. Here, in this fresh and moving account, a son returns to his native South to spend a special autumn with his ninety-five-year-old dad, sharing the unique joys, disappointments, and life lessons of Saturdays with their beloved Ole Miss Rebels. After growing up in Jackson, Stuart Stevens built a successful career as a writer and political consultant. But in the fall of 2012, not long after he turned sixty, the presidential campaign he’d worked on suffered a painful defeat. Grappling with a profound sense of loss and mortality, he began asking himself some tough questions, not least about his relationship with his father. The two of them had spent little time together for decades. He made a resolution: to invite his father to attend a season of Ole Miss football games together, as they’d done when college football provided a way for his father to guide him through childhood—and to make sense of the troubled South of the 1960s. Now, driving to and from the games, and cheering from the stands, they take stock of their lives as father and son, and as individuals, reminding themselves of their unique, complicated, precious bond. Poignant and full of heart, but also irreverent and often hilarious, The Last Season is a powerful story of parents and children and of the importance of taking a backward glance together while you still can.

WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD A poignant and moving account of the author’s search for the man his father was and the life he led as a well-known footballer, blending the personal and the historical into an unforgettable story Stewart Imlach was an ordinary neighbourhood soccer star of his time. A brilliant winger who thrilled the crowd on Saturdays, then worked alongside them in the off-season; who represented Scotland in the 1958 World Cup and never received a cap for his efforts; who was Man of the Match for Nottingham Forest in the 1959 FA Cup Final, and was rewarded with the standard offer - £20 a week, take it or leave it. Gary Imlach grew up a privileged insider at Goodison Park when Stewart moved into coaching. He knew the highlights of his father's career by heart. But when his dad died he realised they were all he knew. He began to realise, too, that he'd lost the passion for football that his father had passed down to him. In this book he faces his growing alienation from the game he was born into, as he revisits key periods in his father's career to build up a picture of his football life - and through him a whole era. ‘The most emotionally charged and moving sports book I've ever read’ Daily Mail

"This is a very personal book, a shared remembrance, about sports and sons and fathers, about youth and lost youth and teamwork - written by a former little boy who watches his own son captain a school football team. Huddle is about the ultimate home team: the touching story of three generations of one family linked by the game of football. Contrary to some popular notions, Huddle shows that modern male bonding is possible through play, not battle. Indeed, nowhere in this intimate account does anyone incite aggression with "Football is war." Football is, instead, life. The players here are boys. Their guides and mentors are men, who huddle with their eager, padded charges to pass on the rules of life through a game. The task at hand is doing your best, which, like as not, is better than you thought. From that beautifully simple formula comes highly complex behavior: cooperation, daring, open admissions of self-doubt, even creativity. Sometimes winning. Sometimes not." "But more importantly, this is a book about learning how to be a person, and how those lessons are passed from father to son, to son, to son. For the author, the process began on the blurry screen of a tiny black-and-white Dumont television in the 1950s with Ohio State - the good guys - defending their turf. Here was something new. No bats. No bases. It took Dad, the engineer, to disassemble this bizarre and foreign ritual in a kind of Socratic sports seminar. Before long, a young Andrew Malcolm had found his own way into the linebacking corps of the team at high school. And a generation later, other young Malcolm males take to familiar fields to begin the process anew. And so on."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
