Still an Ordinary Spectator: Yes

In this follow-up to his award-winning book 'An Ordinary Spectator: 50 Years of Watching Sport', John Rigg presents a collection of his wide-ranging sports writing over the last five years. 'Still An Ordinary Spectator: Five More Years of Watching Sport' captures the thrill of watching some of the best sportsmen of the modern era - Rory McIlroy, Robert Lewandowski, Cameron Smith et al - at the top of their game. But it's not all star athletes; John also introduces the reader to the casual acquaintances he has encountered and the local sporting events he has watched during this most recent stage of his long sports-spectating journey. From high-school American football in San Antonio to club cricket in Saltaire, the book reflects on sport's inherent capacity to act as a barometer of the society around it with a rich combination of contemporary detail and historical digression.
