On the plane back to NYC, I thought, ‘If that’s what George is doing, I wonder what the rest of his opponents are up to?’ I set out to track down as many of the old guys as I could find.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBrennan spent decades locating Ali’s former opponents to discover what had become of them. This unique book is a look through Brennan’s remarkable archive, containing numerous never-before- seen photos plus poignant stories illuminating the images and contextualising Ali’s powerful role in the world of sport. Includes a special introductory essay by the late, great Jimmy Breslin.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n \n\u003ci\u003e“Michael Brennan’s iconic 1977 portrait photograph of Muhammad Ali captures something far bigger and deeper than just the beautiful face of a beautiful man. It is a detailed map of the personal journey of one whose incomparable talents and audacity caused literati to swoon, taught a generation to question authority, and ultimately altered the path of a society which had never before seen a man exactly like him. To look at him the way he was then is to remember, with joy and sorrow, who we all once were.”\u003c\/i\u003e - Jim Lampley, discussing the cover image (Boxing commentator, HBO Sports)","brand":"ACC Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54983671382360,"sku":"9781788840187","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781788840187_a3b1c848-1805-4a15-933e-61560af1e9b9.jpg?v=1777957254","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/they-must-fall","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
