  This is a fabulous photographic tribute to sport straight from the archives of the Press Association. This is one of a series of books covering Cricket, Football, Golf, Rugby and Motorsport which span the whole of the 20th Century. Hand-picked by PA Photos' own archivists, most have lain unseen since they were used as news pictures when they were first taken. These essential and compelling titles are a chance to see the people and witness the great moments of the last hundred years of sport in Britain. These pictures provide a unique insight into our recent history and to modern eyes, the crowds and backgrounds are as interesting as the subjects themselves.PA Photos is the photography arm of the PA Group, which also owns the The Press Association, the UK's national news agency. Established in the late 19th Century, the PA has been capturing editorial photography for 140 years, resulting in an extraordinary archive of over 15 million images recording British life over more than a century.
