Epic by Simon Barnes

The greatest sporting moments of the last 30-plus years, as seen through the eyes of Simon Barnes, one of the very best sports writers

'Excellent in many ways…his insights are rarely less than wise and informative, and often fascinating…It’s very fine sportswriting indeedThis may conceivably be Barnes’s best work yet.' -- Marcus Berkmann * Daily Mail *
'Brilliant...combining a journalistic eye for detail with a poetic ability to convey the emotions of a unique moment.' * Choice magazine *
'From Eric Bristow and Watford as the second best team in England to Novak Djokovic resurgent and the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, Barnes was there...caustically brilliant.' * Glasgow Herald *
'Epic weaves together many of the most iconic, controversial and unforgettable moments that coloured the 30-odd years of Simon Barnes’ tenure as a sports writer at The Times. It is an unlikely triumph… He has a sublime ability to bring you ringside without ever involving himself… A sports book like no other.' * Racing Post *
'[Barnes] has re-examined many of the events he attended and taken another look at the figures who tasted glory, disappointment and downright failure...this is sport's story... It truly is an epic tale.' * Sports Journalists' Association *
