This history of sport is drawn from the text and photographic records from "The Sunday Times" newspaper. Written from the British perspective, this book is presented in a page-by-page, chronological format and includes articles on all the notable sporting achievements, from 1900 to the present day, as well as features on leading sports personalities, sports statistics, memorable quotations and "for the record" fact boxes, giving the rest of the sports news in brief. The month-by-month reportage is interspersed with special spreads on such major personalities as Don Bradman, Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus and Lester Piggott.
