Product Description
Product Description
No longer relegated to oblivion, the rubbish runs and shameful seasons of the world's worst football teams are championed in Crap Teams. Even the best clubs have the odd off-day and, as this book proves, having a full-to-bursting trophy cabinet, or even a tabloid darling on the ball, is just no guarantee of sporting success. From globally popular Man United to the record-breaking Gunners, each and every tip-top team has had seasons and shoot-outs they'd rather forget. Unfortunately for them, Crap Teams provides the searing post-match analysis of their flings with failure, laying bare the facts, the stats and the shame of each footballing fiasco.
About the Author
As a lifelong Millwall supporter, Geoff Tibballs was an obvious choice to write a book about crap teams. His talent for sporting ineptitude developed at a young age when, as a tricky winger with the school 'F' team, he was consistently outpaced by the class fatty. As an author he has continued this trend with titles such as Great Sporting Failures, Great Sporting Eccentrics, Great Sporting Mishaps, Motor Racing's Strangest Races and The Olympics' Strangest Moments, He still enjoys the occasional kickabout in the park, followed by the warm glow of the oxygen mask.

For those who think Man Utd & Chelsea were always so good.,

This review is from: Crap Teams (Humour) (Hardcover)
This is a well written and humorous look at England's best supported team's darkest hours or indeed, months. I'm just about old enough to remember Manchester United getting relegated and as a Liverpool fan I enjoyed the couple of pages devoted to their annus horiblis. Liverpool are there, of course too along with the four Home Nations poorest seasons. In fact some teams make the book twice, but I won't spoil it for you by telling which ones they are. The text is well researched and a picture accompanies each entry. The layout looks a little cheap, but over all I found it an enjoiyable and funny little book. Great to dip in to when you have a few minutes to yourself.
