Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes, moments stick out like a sore thumbs. At other times they pass us by, casually and cruelly, till we realise it's too late for a backward glance. For a sports journalist, such moments are everyday occurrence. Often, sport is a fleeting metaphor for life: throbbing in the present, swaying to the surety of clear-cut goals, victory or defeat; yet pulsating, at all times, with shades of grey.
