In 2009, Warrington RLFC reached the nadir of their long-term, chronic underachievement, prompting one fan to write to the local newspaper questioning the players commitment.

He signed the letter Spirit of 55
- a reference to the year the club were last champions. Results began to improve dramatically, with back-to-back Challenge Cup wins followed by a League Leaders Shield
- but still no championship. Spirit of 55 follows Warringtons quest to become champions in 2012, as seen through the eyes of their most passionate fan.

But are the team cursed by the towns expectations, & the ghost of 55? Laced with terrace humour & tempered by the expert eye of a professional coach, the teams record of failure & the curse of hope will strike a chord with all sports fans.

The book builds to the climax of the play-offs where one team will achieve glory. But will it be Warrington?

The iconic Spitfire found fame during the darkest early days of World War II. But what happened to the redoubtable fighter & its crews beyond the Battle of Britain, & why is it still so loved today?

In late spring 1940, Nazi Germany’s domination of Europe had looked unstoppable. With the British Isles in easy reach since the fall of France, Adolf Hitler was convinced that Great Britain would be defeated in the skies over her southern coast, confident his Messerschmitts & Heinkels would outclass anything the Royal Air Force threw at them.

What Hitler hadn’t planned for was the agility & resilience of a marvel of British engineering that would quickly pass into legend – the Spitfire.

Bestselling author John Nichol’s passionate portrait of this magnificent fighter aircraft, its many innovations & updates, & the people who flew & loved them, carries the reader beyond the dogfights over Kent & Sussex.

Spanning the full global reach of the Spitfire’s deployment during WWII, from Malta to North Africa & the Far East, then over the D-Day beaches, it is always accessible, effortlessly entertaining & full of extraordinary spirit.
