Sinopsis

An Ordinary Spectator Returns: Watching Sport Againápresents a collection of John RiggâÇÖs wide-ranging sports writing over the last six years.áThe book captures the thrill of watching some of the elite participants of the modern era - Kevin De Bruyne, Alastair Cook, Sonny Bill Williams et al. But itâÇÖs not all about the star performers. By describing sporting events within their specific communities - baseball in Toronto, shinty in the Scottish Highlands, amateur rugby league in Leeds - the author illustrates sportâÇÖs inherent capacity to act as a barometer of the society around it.An Ordinary Spectator Returns: Watching Sport Againáalso includes reflective pieces on sports history as well as significant current sport-related issues. This rich combination of contemporary detail and nostalgic digression - the follow-up toáAn Ordinary Spectator: 50 Years of Watching Sportá(2012) andáStill An Ordinary Spectator: Five More Years of Watching Sportá(2017) - will be of interest to all those who enjoy watching live sport.
