Pitch is here to tell those stories. It’s here to reflect the sports fans love, to inform, to heighten, to inflame but, most of all, to enhance your love of all things sport. Let the games begin.

Inside issue #3

Head injury gets taken with utmost seriousness by Pitch editor, Andy Afford. There’s a new book out about Leeds United boss, Don Revie. The history of The Isle of Man TT is plotted in all its high-speed and often dangerous glory by David Wright. There’s a poem, courtesy of Ian McMillan. Cricket World Cup winner Liam Plunkett writes a letter from America. And we say goodbye to such luminaries as Doddie Weir, Nick Bollettieri and the late great Pelé.
