In the year when Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, swept its way to another Premier League title, Caught Beneath the Landslide examines another, very different club, also called Manchester City.This is the Manchester City of Maine Road, of Moss Side, when the music was by Oasis and the football by Georgi Kinkladze and Uwe Rosler. It is the story of club that plunged through two divisions and then clambered back up again. It is the story of a club before the Abu Dhabi takeover, when Manchester City was run, not by a sheikh, but by men like Peter Swales and Francis Lee who ran the gauntlet of supporters' anger as season after season ran out of control.Caught Beneath the Landslide interviews managers, fans, players and those, like the residents of Moss Side, who lived in the club's shadow. It opens in 1989 with the 5-1 victory in the Manchester derby that propelled Alex Ferguson to the very brink of dismissal and ends with the demolition of Maine Road and the move to what would become the Etihad Stadium.Tim Rich has spent a quarter of a century writing about sport, starting on The Sunderland Echo, where he was the paper's cricket correspondent. He had two spells working for The Independent, sandwiched between three years as The Daily Telegraph's northern football correspondent. He collaborated with Ron Atkinson and Andrei Kanchelskis on their respective autobiographies.

In September 1996, Alex Calvo García, a largely unknown Basque footballer arrived in England. Recently released by Eibar in the lower reaches of the Spanish league, the journey represented the 24 year-old's final opportunity to make it as a professional footballer. Without a word of English and at a time when foreign players were rare on British soil - and unheard of in the town of Scunthorpe - the odds seemed stacked against him.What followed was an unlikely eight-year long love affair, in which Calvo García took Scunthorpe United to his heart and embraced the town as its people did him. A Spanish pioneer to the English game, his was a career spent not in the great arenas of football, like Old Trafford and Anfield, but in its less salubrious outposts While he may not have achieved the fame and wealth of some of his compatriots, the happiness Calvo García took from his time at Glanford Park he says made him far richer.In Scunthorpe Hasta La Muerte (Scunthorpe 'til I die), the acclaimed Basque journalist Iñigo Gurrachaga traces his Calvo García's career from the Basque country to Wembley, where he scored the goal that took Scunthorpe to the old third division in the play-offs, and beyond. Its narrative embraces the history of football, of Scunthorpe, of the religions, social ideas and stories that shape the followers of a club in North Lincolnshire with a funny name.Part biography, part social history, part meditation on what it is to be an outsider ultimately embraced by the introverted world of football, Scunthorpe hasta la muerte is a rare thing: a beautifully written account of the underbelly of English football and a masterpiece of sportswriting.Iñigo Gurruchaga is the London correspondent for the Basque newspaper, El Correo.

In June 1991, Blackburn Rovers chairman Bill Fox announced that his club wanted to sign the England captain Gary Lineker from Tottenham Hotspur. The news shocked Spurs, while the agent of the striker, who just a year before had nearly led England to World Cup glory, thought it was a publicity stunt.A few months later, Kenny Dalglish, the most famous football manager in the country, took charge at Ewood Park. The club were still in the Second Division, but the joke was over.Promotion followed, and in that summer Alan Shearer, the hottest young property in English football, joined for a British transfer record. Two years later, after finishing runners-up to Manchester United, Blackburn broke that record again to sign Chris Sutton, and then went one better and won the Premier League title.30 years on from that monumental moment, lifelong fan John Duerden examines Blackburn's triumph and how it changed English football forever. Rovers may not have stayed at the top of English football for long, but their legacy remains.In Rovers Revolution, Duerden also reflects on the impact of that success on Blackburn as a club and as a town. He dissects in detail the seasons and events that led up to that point and the events that made sure it would never happen again.
