Radio London, Weds 7th December, 8.30 p.m. I will be talking about Team Talk, Sporting Words and their Origins.
Newly published by Shire Books, this is an exploration of the language of sport, where words from various sports come from and how they have changed over time. Including archery, pedestrianism, swimming, barleybrake, knurr and spell, polo, and even football.
Ideal Christmas present, naturally.
Available from all good bookshops, and online from Shire Books http://www.shirebooks.co.uk/words%20and%20language/
and the usual websites.
More about it on my website
