More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
There is something for every football supporter in "The England Football Miscellany." The England team has a long and storied history, but this book is neither a work of reference, nor a compendium of lists, nor a collection of biographies, nor a compilation of trivia. In fact, it is a gloriously quirky mixture of all these things and much more besides. Within these pages, the reader will learn hundreds of fascinating facts about the national team on a wide range of topics, from Wembley Way to Soho Square, to the famous managers, outstanding players and big match encounters. Fully revised and updated to include David Beckham's comeback to international football, the opening of the new Wembley Stadium and all the key events of England's Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, "The England Football Miscellany" will bring hours of reading pleasure to every England football fan.
About the Author
John White, a lifelong football fan, has compiled an impressively comprehensive database of sporting facts and figures. He is the author of all the titles in the Carlton sports miscellany series. A Belfast man, he is a very sharp and discerning observer of the England football scene.

Format:Hardcover
Published to take advantage of 2006's world cup, a collection of statistics, facts and anecdotes about England's football team over the 120+ years of its existence. Obviously better on the most recent stuff, it also includes items from the earliest days while virtually ignoring the 1920s and 1930s for some reason, apart from the Battle of Highbury. Slipshod typographical errors.
Format:Hardcover
This book is also available under the title "England Football, Facts & Trivia". Same text, author, publisher, format, introduction, and foreword by Gary Lineker. I obtained it for £2 at a cut-price retailer. The same remarks apply to this as to a companion book "The England Cricket Miscellany" (which is also duplicated under the "Facts & Trivia" title). Does this publisher make a habit of duplication? Once again Caveat Emptor applies. Buyers should beware they may be purchasing a book they already have. Strange that the cover blurb says that the book is not "a compilation of trivia" when the title is "facts & trivia"!
