• Award has never been shared before in 30-year history
For the first time in 30 years joint winners of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award have been announced, with Paul D Gibson’s The Lost Soul of Eamonn Magee sharing the prize with Tom Gregory’s A Boy In The Water.
Graham Sharpe, the chair of the judges, said: “In the 30 years since launching the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, we have occasionally considered, but never ultimately awarded, a dead heat. This year, after hours of deliberation, our judging panel found it impossible to separate these two jointly deserving but very different books.”
