Cult Hero status in football doesn't have to mean being the most gifted individual on the pitch. Sometimes big hair, a big tummy, or even a loveable personality can be just as good a way in. While some players earn the support of fans through years of unwavering dedication to their club, others become sacred simply through a single moment of magic or complete disaster. Every week from Aug 04 to May 05, BBC1's Football Focus searched for the nation's all-time favourite footballing cult heroes. Over the season they put up three nominees for every club in the main English and Scottish divisions (134 clubs in all). Viewers then voted for a winner in every club. The winners, runners up and an all-time Cult Eleven are featured in this accompanying illustrated book. Tongue-in-cheek humour and some hilarious moments capture the spirit of this light-hearted look at the much-loved Cult Heroes of Britain's favourite sport.

Henrik Larsson is currently hailed by Celtic fans as one of the greatest talents to play at Celtic Park - certainly as their finest player since Kenny Dalglish. He has a talent for goal scoring - often in spectacular fashion - equal to any striker in the world. Good-looking and personable, he has captured the hearts and imagination of all football fans that have seen him play. After a somewhat tempestuous early career, many see Henrik's arrival at Celtic as the thing that really enabled his dream of genuine world-class footballing to come true. A badly broken leg briefly threatened that dream, but no-one can deny that with the 2000-01 season, Henrik has surpassed all expectation with the sheer quality of his play and the astounding number of goals scored. With talented sports writer Mark Sylvester, Henrik now gives us his account of this amazing season, from his scoring of the first goal against Dundee in August, to Celtic's inevitable triumph in the Championship later this year. Illustrated with a wealth of anecdote and insight, this book is a must for any Celtic fan, and a great read for anyone who follows the game. The book closes with a selection of tributes from the players and fans who voted Henrik such deserved titles as Player's Player, Football Writer's Player, and Swedish Player of the Year.

The Premiership in Focus celebrates 15 years that have changed the face of football. When Football Focus began life on BBC1 in 1968 as Football Preview, football in England was about old wooden terraces, grounds that were ankle deep in mud or covered in snow and a Bovril at half time. In 1992 came the Premier League and the sport changed forever. The Premier League was established as one of the most exciting, cosmopolitan and widely watched national sporting leagues in the world and fans are now able to watch hundreds of Premiership matches live as football has seemingly taken over much of national life. Why has this happened? How has it affected the clubs, fans, players and managers? How long can it be sustained? This book aims to examine these questions as well as celebrate 15 amazing years of football. It will look back at the great moments, outstanding matches, stunning goals, incredible saves, controversial decisions and the sheer excitement that has been the Premiership.
