Sport is not only about victories and defeats, goals, points, points and seconds. Behind all this there are specific people with their own characters, strengths and weaknesses. Selected short stories from behind the scenes of sports - funny and sad, sometimes seeming completely implausible, often called tales, myths and legends - have been collected by the author, a famous sports journalist, into one book that will present familiar characters in an unusual, non-stereotypical way and will be interesting to you to a wide range of readers.
