<p>Imagine yourself as a seed – a little dormant, a little protective on the outside. Like seeds, we live with an ancient premonition of another way of being in this world. Like seeds, we dream of coming truly alive, dancing with the gardener and having something beautiful and nourishing to offer the world. If only we could burst those tidy, restricting little seed shells. Danny Francis has good news. He has an inkling how we might begin to do just that. He invites us to plant ourselves in the wonder of the gardener’s creation and water ourselves with play. A seed can’t help but burst and rise under those conditions. No trying, niceness, good behavior or checklists required. Worship is a seed-shattering miracle. From it, the delectible fruits of gentleness, love and justice have the opportunity to mature. ~Susan Sides, former garden manager at the Lord's Acre and writer at The Mother Earth News Magazine</p>

Throughout the 45 seasons the East London club has spent in the top flight of English football, the prospect of challenging for the League Championship title has been little more than a pipe dream. Except for one year: 1985-86. Fifteen years later, this book reflects in detail on the one and only season in which the claret-and-blue army were really able to chant: "We're gonna win the league!"

The highlights have been few and far between for West Ham United's long-suffering fans over the years: three FA Cup wins, a European Cup-Winners' Cup victory, various other cup runs that failed on the verge of success and, of course, the enjoyment of watching great players such as Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Trevor Brooking. Throughout the 47 seasons the East London club has spent in the top flight of English football, the prospect of challenging for the League Championship title has been little more than a pipe dream, with the exception of one season: 1985-86. Little did he know it at the time, but manager John Lyall's summer purchases of young unknown Scottish striker Frank McAvennie from St Mirren and diminutive winger Mark Ward from Oldham Athletic were the final pieces in a jigsaw that fell into place spectacularly to provide West Ham fans with a campaign they would never forget. On the final Saturday of the season, the Hammers faced West Bromwich Albion still holding genuine hopes of finishing as League Champions. With Liverpool playing at Chelsea that day, Lyall's men knew that if they beat the Baggies and the Blues triumphed at Stamford Bridge, they only needed a victory against Everton two days later to secure their first-ever league title. Despite victory at the Hawthorns, though, news filtered through that Liverpool player-manager Kenny Dalglish had hit a winner against Chelsea to ensure that the Reds couldn't be caught. Eighteen years on, this book reflects in detail on the one and only season in which the claret-and-blue army were really able to chant We're gonna win the league.” This volume includes exclusive interviews with the management and players who recount exclusive stories and anecdotes from this record-breaking season.
