The six great sports which David Williams argues are those most worthy of attention are rugby, cricket, soccer, tennis, golf and boxing.

Why do they get more than the lion's share of TV coverage and advertising? What makes them so popular? And why do their supporters care about them so passionately, almost to the extent of religious fervour or out and out war? Great Games sets out to answer these questions in a vivid blend of sports history, anecdotes about particularly memorable games or matches, personal reminiscence and fresh analysis.
