The Fever PItch of five-a-side TONY PARSONSA must-have for anyone who has ever played and enjoyed amateur football.James Brown has been playing football since growing up in the backstreets of Leeds. The sudden death of one his long-standing team mates made James ponder the unique bond between men who meet each other once a week for years, but dont know any personal details beyond pitch prowess.Five-a-Side football is where you play the beautiful game for love, not money. You play it for life and you play it everywhere. Your kit is damp and your legs are a leopards back of bruises. Shirts are often tight around the belly, with your heros name plastered across your shoulder blades. The showers are too cold in winter and too hot in summer. Your used sports bag stays unpacked in the hall, and your water bottles are under the kitchen sink. The post-match warm down takes place in the pub. As does the match analysis. By contrast the warm up is non-existent. Your performance is patchy and maybe not what it used to be. But we all still think we played great. Five-a-Side is sporting Karaoke - a time and place to live out our dreams.This is a book for all of us - school mates, work colleagues, total strangers - bonded by the desire to blast one into the net from two feet away.

Music, Magazines & MayhemBetween 1994 and 1997, James Browns loaded magazine became the the must-buy and must-be-in publication of the decade. It won every award going, year after year, and came to define not only its audience but also a generation. Bright, loud, funny, provocative, ambitious and careless, loaded was read from the barracks of Afghanistan to the England dressing room at Euro 96. It captured a hedonistic lifestyle of alcohol, cocaine and more. The last great hurrah before the end of the century. It was the biggest noise in the golden generation of magazine publishing, rocketing from zero to half a million sales in a matter of months. What MTV had been to the 80s, loaded was to the 90s.ANIMAL HOUSE follows James Browns remarkable career from a high school drop-out fanzine writer with few qualifications to NME features editor aged 22, and loaded founder at 27. In between, his mother died in tragic circumstances and gradually his own drug and alcohol use began to take over. Loadeds unexpected success legitimised (and paid for) Jamess lifestyle, and it wasnt until he crashed and burned at GQ, and went through rehab, that any sense of perspective kicked in.Recuperating on the island of Mustique whilst plotting his return with Oz founder Felix Denis, James was asked by neighbour Lord Patrick Lichfield: "How on earth did you manage to sell so many magazines whilst taking so many drugs?"This book is his answer.

Little Jimmy Brown never knew the warm embrace of a mothers arms while he grew up. When he was just a babe, his momma passed on to the great beyond, leaving him all alone in this harsh world. The poor boy was shipped off to an orphanage, where he spent the next nine years surrounded by cold walls and stern caretakers instead of a loving family. At the orphanage, Jimmy found solace in caring for the animals and tending the garden. Though the work was hard for a young boy, it taught him responsibility and gave him purpose during those lonely years. The little sprouts he nurtured gave him hope, just as the orphanage itself became the only home hed ever known.But when the government cut funding and the orphanage was forced to shut down, twelve-year-old Jimmys world collapsed all over again. Not a single relative stepped forward to take the boy in. No one, that is, except kindly old Grandpa Brown. So Jimmy found himself bound for Lexington, Nebraska to live with a grandfather who was already 82 years old and set in his ways, but he simply couldnt bear to see his grandson disappear into the impersonal foster system. Follow along as Jimmy learns to open his heart again to Grandpa, the neighbors, and the close-knit community of Lexington. Share in his small triumphs and setbacks as he discovers the power of love and friendship. See how one orphan boy finds light even in the deepest shadows.

Life is most definitely what you make of it. Jimmy Brown didnt have a head start or any say on where his life began. He had only two and one-half years with a caring mother before she disappeared from his life due to her inheritance of chromosomes that slowly took over her nervous systemknown today as Huntingtons Choreabefore she died. Jimmy Browns story tells how the residents of a small town in the Midwest embraced him in his growing-up years as an orphan. They showed compassion and built unbreakable bonds as Jimmy struggled to leave his only friends at the orphanage and identify with a family after the loss of his mother. His story touches the heart and reminds the reader that love and sharing can make a huge difference in a persons life. Finding the lost child inside all of us and our desires to know we belong and are loved are important elements in any relationship, but especially for an orphan boy. Jimmy wrote this book with the intent to explain the importance of where he came from, who he is, where hell go, and how every orphaned child can experience a fulfilling journey with a love-filled life, even from strangers. This is an easy read for boys aged 11-17 and for their caregivers. No matter how far Jimmy Brown travels, a little piece of home will always follow. It Takes A Town to Raise an Orphan Boy is Jimmys second book in a three-book series.
