Sir Alex Ferguson’s ghosted autobiography set new sales records; Jaap Stam’s more recent effort made waves that, some feel, contributed to the decision to sell him; George Best seems to update his life story every other year; and now, the Independent can reveal, Roy Keane has sanctioned a biography by his fellow Irishman, Eamon Dunphy, the author of a similar work on Sir Matt Busby. It is not due to be published until 2003 and, whether or not Keane is still at Manchester United by then, there are likely to be some forthright revelations about his time at the club.
Although his relationship with the media can be fractious, Keane has never been afraid to speak out when he wants to make a point. He famously savaged the “prawn sandwich” brigade responsible for the lack of atmosphere at Old Trafford, insisted that United must make new signings to progress and, more recently, used his national newspaper column to express sympathy for Stam. With the Republic of Ireland, he speaks from a position of even greater strength, criticising the Football Association of Ireland in an interview last season for poor training facilities and travel arrangements.In Dunphy, 56, he will have a colourful biographer, a former professional footballer who has subsequently become a controversial journalist and broadcaster in Dublin. Dunphy, initially a Manchester United reserve, developed into a skilful midfield player with York City, Millwall, Charlton and Reading, winning 23 Irish caps.A scourge of the football establishment and fierce campaigner for players’ rights, his first book, in 1976, was the ground-breaking Only A Game?, a candid account of a season at Millwall regarded as one of the best football books ever written.To research his volume on Busby, A Strange Kind of Glory, Dunphy returned to live in Manchester for six months and was rewarded with highly favourable reviews. Equally well received was a biography of the Dublin band U2, Unforgettable Fire, even though he confessed to knowing little about rock music when asked to write it.In the meantime he had established a reputation as a forthright commentator on Irish sport and politics, falling out with the Republic manager Jack Charlton, who called him “a bitter little man”, and his successor Mick McCarthy, but remaining an admirer of Keane.
Asked recently about the amounts of money paid these days to leading players like the United captain, Dunphy replied: “I wish they were getting more. They’re stars, they bring people in and they make people happy. I like to see them retire with their future secure.”On Monday, the man characterised by one newspaper as “loudmouth host Eamon Dunphy, television’s Mr Nasty” takes on the role of Anne Robinson for a 26-week run of The Weakest Link on Ireland’s TV3. He also presents a televised Premiership highlights show and The Last Word, a current affairs radio programme.
Yesterday, for once, he was unavailable for comment.The market for sports books is currently buoyant, according to John Gaustad, who runs the Sportspages bookshops in London and Manchester. “Absolute super-sellers don’t come along all that often, but Alex Ferguson’s autobiography sold colossal numbers, Geoff Hurst’s is absolutely tearing away and David Batty’s has been selling strongly,” he said.Hodder & Stoughton, the publishers of Sir Alex’s tome – for which he is believed to have received an advance of close to £1m – claim to have shifted more than 750,000 copies, rivalling Dickie Bird’s autobiography as the best-selling sports book other than Nick Hornby’s phenomenal success Fever Pitch.. Tottenham won the Worthington Cup two years ago and, even though it is still early stages on the road to the final in Cardiff, this competition still represents arguably their best chance of playing in Europe next season. Tottenham won the Worthington Cup two years ago and, even though it is still early stages on the road to the final in Cardiff, this competition still represents arguably their best chance of playing in Europe next season.
But this ultimately comfortable victory for Glenn Hoddle’s side came at some cost as they lost the versatile Gary Doherty with suspected ankle ligament damage after only 12 minutes. The consolation came with second-half strikes from Ledley King and Les Ferdinand – after Tottenham had suffered in the first half – to put them into the third-round hat with the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal.With this game being televised, Torquay were clearly determined not to let their 15 minutes of fame pass them by, and they set about unsettling Tottenham immediately.However, the Devonians’ high-tempo approach put paid to Doherty’s presence in this Worthington Cup second-round tie when Eifion Williams clattered into the Irishman, forcing the defender off on a stretcher to be replaced by Goran Bunjevcevic, a player who in Glenn Hoddle’s words was only “70 per-cent fit”.

LifestyleAbout 54 percent of Americans questioned for an AOL Travel/Zogby International survey said they are on a tighter budget this year than last.”Year over year for the past two years, more Americans feel like they have less money overall to spend on their vacations,” said Beth Caulfield, editor-in-chief of AOL Travel.”A lot of it driven by the economy,” she said.Despite the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, which leaves Americans with more money to spend when they travel abroad, 66 percent said they would pick vacation spots in the United States — unchanged from 2008 when the dollar was weak.”Budgets are less so you would expect more people to stay local, but on the flipside the value of the dollar abroad is higher than it was last year,” she explained.”Ultimately, when you look at those different levers they kind of even themselves out.”Americans are also being proactive to stretch their budgets.
Sixty one percent of the 2093 people who took part in the poll specifically plan to ask travel providers for discounts, while 58 percent said they will consider booking a connecting flight, which means longer travel time, if they can save cash.”(People) are getting savvier about how they make sure that they get the best value for their dollar,” Caulfield said.Perhaps as a sign of the times, only 58 percent plan to use a credit card to pay for expenses — leaving more than 40 percent using cash, Caulfield said.”When you put it on a credit card, it is pretty easy to worry about it later,” she said.”By using cash, Americans are being very sensitive to their wallets and economic environment.”(Reporting by Aarthi Sivaraman; editing by Patricia Reaney) Lifestyle.

There were no medals for Britain here yesterday but there were contrasting fortunes for Sue Rolph and James Hickman. Both had a final and a semi-final last night and both are experiencing the pressures of medal contenders in the long build-up to Sydney. There were no medals for Britain here yesterday but there were contrasting fortunes for Sue Rolph and James Hickman.
Both had a final and a semi-final last night and both are experiencing the pressures of medal contenders in the long build-up to Sydney.
Hickman took the view that this was all part of his high-quality preparations and set a blistering pace in the semi-final of his favourite event, the 200m butterfly. Rolph came here talking up her chances of defending the 100m freestyle title and was totally outclassed. Hickman has his effervescence of old back, but Rolph’s sparkle is well and truly flat.Rolph became the first British winner for nearly 40 years in the 100m freestyle in Istanbul last year, but the frailty of her Olympic challenge was brutally exposed yesterday by a performance of the highest quality from Sweden’s Therese Alshammar. At the halfway stage the Swede was under world-record pace, but finished just shy of the mark in 54.41sec. Slovakia’s world silver medallist, Martina Moravcova, was second in 54.45sec as Rolph struggled to seventh.Half-an-hour earlier, Rolph secured a place in today’s final of the 200m individual medley, an event in which she has no chance of a medal in Sydney.
Rolph’s coach, Ian Oliver, would only concede that perhaps this was a mistake; a view which, frankly, is a gross understatement. That she has not fully prepared and chose to swim the earlier event shows either a dreadful naïveté or that she is fast losing the psychological edge over her rivals that she needs to win an Olympic medal. Both are equally worrying.Hickman, in contrast, was under world-record pace at the halfway stage to ensure his place in today’s final of the 200m butterfly “It’s all good training and I pushed myself to the limit. It’s got to be good for you, although it doesn’t feel like it at the moment,” Hickman said, shortly after fading to an unsurprising last place in the medley final.Karen Pickering swam her best time for six years to finish fourth in the 100m freestyle and is confident of doing the same in her preferred event, the 200m freestyle, which starts tomorrow.Alex Popov triumphed for a record fifth time at these European Championships to set himself up for an unprecedented third straight Olympic title in the 100m freestyle.
There was no world record this time from Popov, but the masterclass he gave here was in how to win the mind game in Olympic year. He will go to Sydney as the world-record holder, world No 1 and will have instilled in the collective consciousness of world swimming that he will win gold Here endeth the lesson.. The wearer of the mountains jersey winning a sprint finish in the Tour de France is a rare sight, but it is the kind of occasion that suits Marcel Wüst.

And we are not talking Evans Outsize here, we are talking curtains. In fact, today she is wearing a sheet – a very nice old linen sheet that she has dyed and made into a dress. “That’s one of the advantages of being fat – it’s a very good way to show off a lot of nice cloth.”
But in the world of interiors it is not Angel’s size they talk about – it is her eye. Angel’s eye is fabled, legendary; and her shop with the equally legendary name, Tobias and the Angel, is the stuff of stylists’ dreams. It is a mixture of refugees from the past: raffia-embroidered tea cosies, linen sheets, thick rustic pottery, small objects of desire; utilitarian beauty from the present: lilac and red dusters, plain string- coloured cloths and linen scrim, tied with ribbons in bundles so seductive that you have to get a grip on yourself (it is, you have to keep reminding yourself, only a pile of floor cloths); stuff that Angel herself has made: teddy bears dressed in clothes made from scraps of antique fabrics, gilded flowerpots; and strings of objets trouvs: a dried mushroom dyed red, a gold walnut, a starfish, an antique button. `We used to call them just strings,’ explains Angel, `until one day a lady came in and told us they were objets trouvs.’ She and her staff now try to introduce the heavily emphasised expression into conversation as often as they can. `Oh, I’m great trouv-er of objets,’ she declares.
Angel opened 10 years ago with her partner, the Tobias of the shop’s title, from whom she is now “divorced”, while still keeping custody of the name.
Their names were, you might say, a godsend, though in fact Angel is not her baptismal name; she was given it at university. Her family knew her as Biddy, which she hated – “it sounds like a workhorse; Biddy was always the cook in the kitchen, the washer of Jesus’ feet. Nothing glamorous about it.”Angel finds the whole idea of being the Queen of Taste very funny – “Oh Angel, you’ve got such wonderful taste,” she mimics, “mm, mm, kiss, kiss, kiss.” But her business is something she takes very seriously. Christmas is a major production here in White Hart Lane, where chi-chi Barnes threatens to fizzle out and become mundane Mortlake, and where a few unglamorous traders – motor mechanics, launderettes and Indian newsagents – are still holding their own against a tidal wave of decorating and antique shops.For four days each November the windows of the shop are blacked out while Angel and a team of helpers set about creating Christmas Angel is the motivator, her brother Sean the doer. “You know those builders who always say `Oh you can’t do that’,” explains Angel, “Sean is the opposite.” This year what she had in mind was a small cottage in the shop, with a bedroom window looking out on to a gloriously gloomy garden of lilies of the valley, hyacinths and amaryllis planted in tin tubs, old wooden sieves and enamel mugs. Sean’s solution was to dismantle a derelict shack in the country and rebuild it in the shop.Re-using things is a driving force in Angel’s life. “I think it’s a matter of feeling sorry for things,” she muses, “but it’s a wonderful feeling when you can use even the tiniest scrap of marvellous cloth to make something new.”Her Christmas baubles are upholstered in sections of old fabric, the joins covered in braid and then they are embellished with old beads or sequins.
She also makes exquisite trios of padded hearts and shoe decorations out of antique fabrics. Nothing is cheap: at the same time as people are wandering round the shop loudly proclaiming, “It’s a poem, an absolute poem,” you can also hear quite a lot of sharp intakes of breath and incredulous whispers as tweed-skirted ladies try to convince each other that the decimal point is in the wrong place.Angel is not apologetic about her prices – after all, she knows exactly how much labour went in to each piece. And however much some customers may mutter under their breath, “I could do that”, the truth is that they probably couldn’t. The sewing she does is a lost art these days when for the average female a running stitch is something one gets in the side during aerobics.Angel did O-level needlework but it was handling old things and seeing “the beautiful way they were stitched that made me want to do it.
The trouble today is that people want everything to be quick – and so the world gets filled with badly made things. This is why I hate all these `craft’ books with their `short cuts’; all they do is diminish expertise.” But she hates the idea of being thought of as someone who rejects the new. “I think it’s just that it’s easier to judge quality when things are worn because you are not seduced by their immediacy I suppose you could say I was a coward. But also if you’re buying second hand you are generally getting better value because you are not paying the initial making price.

This is not your average boozy media event: tea and sandwiches and a sartorial style owing more to Lord Cardigan than Mr Armani. Friday night, in a church hall in Marylebone, and the National Viewers and Listeners’ Association (or “National VALA” as their courageous acronym runs) are handing out their annual awards. I like sticking my neck out, which probably hasn’t done me any favours in the company I’m currently at, but I think you have to fight for what you believe in. Glenda is a great example of that, because when we launched Marie Claire, I got such criticism over her appointment, internally and externally “What are you doing, Heather?” people said.
