‘This is the strongest sports law textbook I have seen.’ – Richard Parrish, Centre for Sports Law Research, Edge Hill University, UK

‘Innovative, authoritative and accessible. Students will appreciate its depth of coverage and its clear layout, while those with a greater expertise can still learn from his lucid, thought-provoking exploration of the key issues. I’ve enjoyed reading it.’ – David McArdle, Stirling Law School, UK

‘An excellent comprehensive text covering relevant areas. The style is clear, interesting and readable and I think will be accessible to our non-law students as well as to those who are more familiar with the legal principles.’ – Fiona Buchanan, Department of Law, University of Cumbria, UK
