- on countless players rival managers referees & journalists. But amid the sound the fury & the mind-games lurks one of sport's greatest wits. So here we present Sir Alex Ferguson: uncompromising unrivalled & uncut. On Arsene Wenger: ' They say he's an intelligent man right? Speaks five languages! I've got a fifteen-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages.' On Dennis Wise: ' He could start a row in an empty house.' On referees: ' Can anyone tell me why they give referees a watch? It's certainly not for keeping the time.' On his humble beginnings: ' People say mine was a poor upbringing. I don't know what they mean. It was tough but it wasn't bloody poor. We maybe didn't have a TV. We didn't have a car. We didn't even have a phone. But I thought I had everything & I did: I had a football.' After the winning the European Cup in 1999: 'I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football eh? Bloody hell.'

The SS Great Britain designed by Isambard Brunel was the first ocean-going vessel to be screw-driven & built entirely of iron. When she was launched in 1843 she was twice the size of any previous ship & her revolutionary design heralded a complete break with traditional ship construction. As is the case for many historic ships however there is a surprising shortage of informative & well illustrated guides for reference during a visit or for research by enthusiasts
- ship modellers naval buffs historians or students. This new series redresses the gap. Written by experts & containing more than 200 specially commissioned photographs each title takes the reader on a superbly illustrated tour of the ship from bow to stern & deck by deck. Significant parts of the vessel
- for example the propeller steering gear engine & accommodation
- are given detailed coverage both in words & pictures so that the reader has at hand the most complete visual record & explanation of the ship that exists. In addition the importance of the ship both in her own time & now as a museum vessel is explained while her design & build & her career prior to restoration & exhibition are all described. No other books offer such superb visual impact & detailed information as the Seaforth Historic Ship Series
- a truly groundbreaking concept bringing the ships of our past vividly to life.
