Sorry I am not much of a sports fan but 3 fairly decent biographies I enjoyed.
1 - 'The Past is Myself'Chrstine Bielenberg
about an English women married to a German during WWII
2 - 'Panzer Leadership' Heinz Guderian, Another WWII bk, from the perspective of the man who devised the Blitzkrieg.
3 - 'Shades of Black; by Richard Siklos on Conrad Black owner of the Daily Telegraph and how he became such a driven man.
