Description

In fairy tales and movies, in comic books and novels, everyone loves cheering for the underdog – and people’s affection for the underdog carries over into sport.

The thrill of an unexpected triumph by those given no chance to win makes our hearts beat faster and sends our voices soaring with roars of joy and yelps of disbelief. The power of these victories goes beyond the playing fields upon and the stadiums they take place in.

This book celebrates the athletes and teams who defied expert opinion, turned history on its head and shocked the sporting world.

From the teenage girl who won one of the biggest tournaments in tennis just months after suffering a sporting disaster in front of millions of viewers to the record-breaking NFL kicker who was born without toes, there are stories here that will set your pulse racing and your mind running.

Who knows, perhaps one day you too will live your own underdog story that inspires the world.
