- Book Synopsis
- An Ordinary Spectator Returns: Watching Sport Again' presents a collection of John Rigg's wide-ranging sports writing over the last six years. The book captures the thrill of watching some of the elite participants of the modern era - Kevin De Bruyne, Alastair Cook, Sonny Bill Williams et al. But it's not all about the star performers. By describing sporting events within their specific communities - baseball in Toronto, shinty in the Scottish Highlands, amateur rugby league in Leeds - the author illustrates sport's inherent capacity to act as a barometer of the society around it. 'An Ordinary Spectator Returns: Watching Sport Again' also includes reflective pieces on sports history as well as significant current sport-related issues. This rich combination of contemporary detail and nostalgic digression - the follow-up to 'An Ordinary Spectator: 50 Years of Watching Sport' (2012) and 'Still An Ordinary Spectator: Five More Years of Watching Sport' (2017) - will be of interest to all those who enjoy watching live sport.
