Viele von uns sind Kinder der Bundesliga. Unsere Erinnerungen an die Fußball Bundesliga reichen von den engen Meisterschaften der Bayern mit Borussia Mönchengladbach in den 70ern dann mit dem HSV und Werder Bremen und den 11er von Kutzop bis in die letzten 15 Jahren mit den engen Titelkämpfen mit dem BvB. Wir hörten die Bundesliga im Freibad oder beim Auto waschen im Radio oder pünktlich um 18.00 Uhr mit Heribert Faßbender, Reinold Beckmann oder Jessy Wellmer. 61 Jahre Fußball Bundesliga, fast 57.000 Tore.

La vita di Loris Capirossi comincia in mezzo alla polvere e alle colline romagnole: Borgo Rivola ha cinquecento anime e ci si arriva per strade che a vederle sono tutto un programma. Curve cieche e saliscendi, asfalto da piega e pochi rettilinei, ma l'odore del gas lo senti subito. È il 1990: un ragazzino di diciassette anni - al suo esordio nel Motomondiale classe 125 - è campione del mondo in sella a una Honda. Il più giovane di sempre. L'anno seguente - prima ancora di avere l'età per prendere la patente - si può fregiare del secondo titolo iridato. E non sarà l'ultimo.

Ersetzt er nun also den Cocktail Shaker gegen Kreuzworträtsel und die Tanzschuhe gegen Thermopflaster? Niemals! Man braucht nur Tricks und Schliche, um dem Alter ein Schnippchen zu schlagen. In seinem Hörbuch verrät er, wie er dem Großeltern-Style entkommt, warum er sich zum Ausgehen zwingt und weshalb man junge Leute in seinen Bekanntenkreis einpflegen sollte, ohne "junge Leute" zu sagen.

Banksy, George, Jack, Mooro, Ray, Nobby, Ballie, Bobby, Martin, Roger. Geoff's ten teammates. His old friends. They've now all gone. Heroes from an era that is slipping into sepia. But it isn't all over. One of them is still here, and before he goes, Geoff wanted to get down his final thoughts about 1966. He talks about Alf - his vision, his drive, his loyalty.
