Celebrating Great Britain's 100 most notable sporting heroes, Jon Henderson has combed through the annals of our glorious and not so glorious past to bring us the geniuses and the eccentrics, the national treasures and the villains who together have shaped our present. From Henry VIII and Roy of the Rovers to Red Rum Roy and Torvill and Dean, the question is, just what does it take to make a sporting superhero? Touching on Trueman, W. G., Best and Edwards, and racing drivers, jockeys, and rowers, Hendo's 100 reveals all. Opinionated and provocative, his witty character studies—accompanied by stylish illustrations—capture the essence of his subjects' greatness, re-evaluating the famous and rescuing the forgotten. But when there's a cast of thousands to choose from and hundreds of years of history to explore, who will make the cut for the most heroic of the heroic?
