For 15 NFL seasons, during which they won five Super Bowl titles, no team in pro sports captured the public’s fancy like the San Francisco 49ers. Thanks to a roster filled with superstars such as Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Ronnie Lott and an innovative coaching staff headed by the legendary Bill Walsh, the 49ers exuded an aura of invincibility in a sport in which every victory is hard fought.  This is the story of the San Francisco dynasty in the players’ own words, reflections and insights shared with the perspective of time, as they analyze the elements that combined to create pro football magic.   Beginning with a stunning victory over the Dallas Cowboys and a berth in Super Bowl XVI and continuing through a victory in Super Bowl XXIV, the vital figures in 49ers history recall the pivotal moments, the clutch plays, and the smooth transitions that pointed toward the top of the NFL mountain.  "When people ask me how many Super Bowl rings I have," lineman Jesse Sapolu says, "I don’t mean to show a disappointed face, but I just say, ‘Four.’ And they say, ‘You don’t look very excited about it.’ And I tell people, ‘Well, I lost five NFC Championship Games. That’s a lot of big games to lose.’ When I look back on my career, I should be sitting here with at least six, maybe seven Super Bowl rings."  We Were Champions features the rare behind-the-scenes photography of Michael Zagaris, the 49ers’ club photographer for more than two decades, in the definitive look at one of the most storied sports franchises.

Professional football arrived in Indianapolis after a midnight escape from Baltimore in 1984, but the vision, brains, and talent to produce a consistent winner and a championship contender were not delivered until almost 14 years later. December 22, 1997, was a day to remember at the Colts’ West 56th Street complex. After years of experiencing pro football as only the son of the owner could—water boy, general gofer, ticket manager, accounting and public relations offices, youngest general manager in the NFL in 1984—Robert Irsay showed that, finally, he was in charge. Irsay slid into the driver’s seat and took the wheel. He backed up the truck. He fired director of football operations Bill Tobin and head coach Lindy Infante and hired Bill Polian as team president—all in a day. Those who knew Irsay, who knew Polian and the Colts, hailed the move. "In 1998, in any segment of business or industry or sports, there will be no better hire. This was a coup," said Ralph Cindrich, a player agent whose many negotiations with Polian have included "a few wars." One of Polian’s first decisions was to select quarterback Peyton Manning with the first pick of the 1998 NFL draft. Since that time, an increasingly more capable cast has surrounded Manning. A franchise that failed to win more than nine games in any of its first 15 seasons in Indianapolis has won 10 or more four of the past five years, including a 14-5 run that reached the AFC championship game after the 2003 season. Tales from the Indianapolis Colts Sideline takes readers inside the Colts’ Union Federal Football complex, onto the RCA Dome sidelines, and into the huddle, inside the decisions, the strategies, the players, and personalities that have made the Colts one of the NFL’s most exciting teams.

This book examines the work and art of Bill Douglas, thirty years after his death. Douglas made only a small body of work during his lifetime: The Bill Douglas Trilogy, based on his deprived childhood in Scotland; and Comrades, his epic on the Tolpuddle Martyrs; but he is acknowledged by many as one of Britain's greatest filmmakers. His films inspire a depth of passion in those that have seen them, and interest in his work has intensified over the years, both within the UK and overseas. This is the first work to examine Douglas's life and career through archive material recently made available to researchers. Editors Amelia Watts and Phil Wickham have carefully selected a range of voices--both scholars and practitioners--to reappraise Douglas's career from a variety of angles. The book raises important questions about Douglas's status as an artist, and reflects on his struggles within the film industry of the 1970s and 1980s in order to consider the attendant difficulties of working within a collaborative and commercial medium such as cinema. The volume also explores the wider legacy of this film artist, through the collection on moving image history he assembled with Peter Jewell, which became the foundation of the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum. It will appeal to film students and scholars, and the small but committed group of general readers who are interested in Douglas's work. The book has a foreword by the renowned filmmaker Mark Cousins, who, like many other contemporary directors, is a great enthusiast for Douglas's work.
