THIS MONTH

The December issue of Alpha offers you cool guys, hot hotties and a flaming legend. Our cover star is Socceroos captain and EPL star Lucas Neill, who just can’t seem to stay out of the spotlight now matter how hard he tries. The skipper talks about choosing West ham over Liverpool, THAT penalty in the World Cup and his prickly relationship with the media. As he says on the cover, “I don’t regret a single thing.”
Of course, Shane Warne’s the man who wouldn’t stay out of the spotlight even if he could. He’d rather talk about poker, these days, but with the Ashes looming and spinning stocks looking skinny, Alpha does its best to coax him out of retirement, in another exclusive interview.
Cricket’s Indian Premier League had everything – huge crowds, big stars, massive sixes – and cheerleaders. Alpha photographs some of the Aussie girls who showed the Indians a bit of what they’d been missing all these years. Pompoms not included.
A packed issue also takes in the best sports-movie quotes ever, eye-popping photos, our super-duper guide to everything coming up in your favourite sports, training tips from the stars, the gear to wear while you’re doing it, plus cars, gadgets, movies, video games, travel… So much goodness for $2.95 it’s a sin not to buy it.
