A unique memoir from British cycling’s most fascinating competitor.

Since its inception in 1887, Wimbledon has become the most prestigious tennis championship in the world. But it’s much more than a sporting spectacle – it’s also one of the most highly anticipated events in the celebrity calendar, providing everyone from royals to Hollywood A-listers with the perfect backdrop to show off their latest sartorial looks. This book is a carefully curated collection of the most notable and dramatic on-court moments, as well as memorable celebrity and fashion moments. Relive the longest match in Wimbledon history, the 2002 Williams vs Williams final and Andy Murray’s momentous win, and scrutinise an array of celebrity outfits, from Zendaya’s striking suits to a roster of outfits worn by the Princess of Wales.

This title provides a footballing road trip through the 2024/25 FA Cup season, travelling across the vast and varied landscape of English football – from Leamington to Liverpool, from Maidenhead United to Manchester City. Each chapter chronicles a new match as Felix faithfully follows the winning team to the next round, carrying him across the country through the changing seasons and the breadth of England, until the pinnacle of the FA Cup final.

During his eight years at England, in one of the highest profile roles in the country, Gareth Southgate forged a unique management style, combining calm empathy with mental resilience, emotional intelligence and strong accountability. His leadership at England propelled the national team to its most sustained success in 50 years, reaching the 2018 FIFA World Cup Semi Final and the UEFA Euro 2020 and 2024 Finals. In the process, Southgate revitalised and reshaped the national team’s footballing identity. Southgate’s book draws on the defining moments that shaped his leadership style, principles that informed his decisions, and the resilience that enabled him to perform under the most intense public scrutiny.
