Sports News July 2004
Thank
you for subscribing to our Mainstream Sport newsletter. News this quarter:
- News of the real winner of last years William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, Tom Callahan for IN SEARCH OF TIGER
- A selection of some of the best reviews for our latest sports books
- New Sport Top Ten featuring football, cycling, athletics, golf and rugby titles.
The Daily Mail recently reported that 'IN SEARCH OF TIGER is
proving a goldmine in ways the author could not have foreseen. His prize
for being shortlisted for last year's William Hill Sports Book of the
Year award was a free £850 bet. He decided to blow the lot on a
double: Sean Penn to win an Oscar for best male actor in Mystic River
and Phil 
Mickelson
to win the Masters. The success of these two meant a £50,000 windfall
for Callahan.' The William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award have just
announced that Waterstones will host this years ceremony at their flagship
store in Piccadilly instead of Sportspages on Charing Cross Rd who have
hosted the event for the last fifteen years. Mainstream's hot contender
for this years prize is ATHENS TO ATHENS, the massive
tome by David Miller which was published to great critical acclaim last
Christmas.
Other
books which have received rave recently include UP AND OVER:
A TREK THROUGH RUGBY LEAGUE LAND by Dave Hadfield and ON
MY KNEES by Sunday Times rugby correspondent and former William
Hill winner, Stephen Jones.
