Free Download Nige Tassell, "The Bottom Corner: A Season with the Dreamers of Non-League Football"
English | 2017 | pages: 304 | ISBN: 0224100602 | EPUB | 1,2 mb
Everyone loves an FA Cup upset: a smug Premier League team being knocked out by plucky underdogs. In these days of oligarch owners, superstar managers and players on sky-high wages, the tide is turning against the big teams as fans search for football with a soul. Enter non-league football – the heartland of the beautiful game. Nige Tassell spends a season among the characters who inhabit this world. The raffle-ticket seller who wants her ashes scattered in the centre-circle. The envelope salesman who discovered a future England international. The ex-pros still playing with undiluted passion on Sunday mornings. One thing unites them: they are all dreamers. Tassell ventures all over the footballing map, from the giantkillers of Salford City to hungover cloggers on Hackney Marshes, interviewing obsessive groundhoppers, record-smashing goalscorers, dictatorial managers, ukulele-strumming fans and the captain of the Filipino national team. He makes extended stopovers with both new boys Tranmere Rovers, looking for a speedy return to the Football League, and the inhabitants of the ‘bottom corner’ Bishop Sutton, who are just trying to get eleven men on a pitch. Hope and ambition.Triumph and tragedy. Faith and despair. All human life is here in the win-or-sink drama of non-league football.

Free Download Jonathon Grasse, "Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges’s The Corner Club "
English | ISBN: 1501346830 | 2020 | 176 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In 1972, a group of creative Brazilian musicians and poets informally led by singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento recorded a landmark double-LP titled Clube da Esquina (Corner Club). The album saw highly original songs by Milton, already an award-winning international star, sharing vinyl with those of Lô Borges, an unknown eighteen-year-old from Belo Horizonte, the capital of the state of Minas Gerais. There, where the street "corner" still exists, grew their collective also known as the Corner Club, as the artists collaborated on many subsequent albums boasting innovative blends of pop, jazz, rock, folk, classical influences, and, before Brazil’s return to civilian rule in 1985, poignant protest songs aimed at a cruel dictatorship.
