Whose Side Are You On?

Informationen zum Autor Teddy Jamieson Klappentext Teddy Jamieson is a writer for The Herald and Sunday Herald newspapers in Glasgow. His only sporting claim to fame is that he played in a championship winning five-a-side team at Stirling University. That was, though, quite a long time ago. This is his first book. "Candid, insightful and often hilarious. . . . Anyone who likes France, cycling, media coverage of sport, obsessives and above all the magic that is the Tour de France will enjoy this book." --Alastair Campbell Zusammenfassung From the late 1960s, Northern Ireland has been mired in violence. Yet it has had seen more than its fair share of sporting heroes - from footballer George Best, through snooker champion Alex Higgins, to boxer Barry McGuigan. But sport - like everything else in Northern Ireland - could quickly turn nasty when politics were involved.
