Product Description

Review
"'Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I am disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it's much, much more important than that.' Bill Shankly"

Product Description
In the best tradition of "The Book of Lists", and enhanced by contributions from commentators from the footballing world, footballers themselves and eminent writers (including Harry Rednapp, Dennis Bergkamp and George Szirtes), "the Book of Lists: International Football" collects the notable, unusual and most outstanding of all the talk, stats, thoughts and opinions without which football would be just a game. This book includes topics such as: Players Who Feel No Pain; Ten Blind Referees; Sixty-Nine Notorious Sex Scandals; Ten Comebacks; I Hate You So Much Right Now - Nine Feuds; The Worst Teams Ever; Ten Animals on the Pitch; Shall We Sing a Song for You? Ten Flick-to-Kick Facts; Ten Cheats; and Great Touchline Smokers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stephen Foster has an encyclopaedic knowledge of football, 22 May 2006
Having read his earlier books, Strides, She Stood There Laughing and his latest work, the critically acclaimed Walking Ollie, I was intrigued by the Book of Lists. It does exactly what it says on the tin! A must for any football fan and, if I may say so, perfect toilet reading material. Foster has an immense knowledge of the beautiful game and shows it to full effect with so many varied and hilarious lists.

4.0 out of 5 stars All his own work?, 18 Jul 2006
By M. J. Eltringham "Mark Elt" (Leafy Cheshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Foster doesn't have an extensive knowledge of football. He got other people to write most of it, including me. The book has got some interesting errata, but those are definitely down to Stephen.

That said, it's a fabulous book largely because it avoids many of the cliches you'd expect in an anorak's guide. Buy it now.
