Photosport
Produced in partnership with award-winning
photographic agency Photosport on its 20th
anniversary, this unique book revisits the
highs
and lows, the agony and ecstasy, the magic
and
the melodrama of the past 20 years in New Zealand sport.
Sport is integral to the New Zealand way of life. It isn’t
just something we do – it’s part of who we are. Sport is an important part of
our culture, our DNA – it defines us as a nation and how we’re viewed by the
world . . . They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And even in these
days of live broadcasts and slow-motion replays, sports photography continues
to capture moments in time like no other medium.
— Peter Miskimmin, Sport New Zealand
From New Zealand ’s valiant performance
on home turf in the
1992 Cricket World Cup to the All Blacks’
long-awaited lifting
of the Webb Ellis trophy in 2011, Replay
brings
those memorable moments back to life.
Photosport’s stunning images are enhanced
with commentary from some of New Zealand ’s
best-loved
sporting heroes, as they relive those moments
in their own words.
