Supplementary Dictionary of Sports Personalities e-bog

This new Supplementary Dictionary of Sports Personalities contains over 250 biographical entries on famous individuals from the world of sports. Spanning a wide range of sporting disciplines, including cricket, football, javelin, boxing, and bullfighting, this A-Z provides all the information you need on notable sportsmen and women such as Blanche Bingley, Brian Howard Clough, Mervyn Davies, Jose Gomez Ortega, Flo Hymann, Andy Irons, JeanRn Lacoste, Scrates, and many more. These entries supplement the biographical coverage in the existing sports-related content on Oxford Reference. For this online Supplementary Dictionary, 200 entries were taken from the Oxford Companion to Sports and Games (published 1975), edited by the late John Arlott. These entries were revised and updated by Stuart George, who also wrote over 60 new entries for this A-Z.
