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 Stadium to Soho Square, to the famous managers, outstanding players and big match encounters. Painstakingly researched, "The England Football Miscellany" will bring hours of reading pleasure to every fan.
About the Author
John White is a lifelong Manchester United fan who compiled the most comprehensive databse of United facts and figures. He was a contributor to The Official Manchester United Miscellany, published by Carlton in 2005. A Belfast man, he watches the England football scene with a very sharp eye.

Poor production with significant omissions,
By Martin White (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The England Football Miscellany (World Cup 2006) (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.

book duplication,

This review is from: The England Football Miscellany (World Cup 2006) (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"!

This review is from: The England Football Miscellany (World Cup 2006) (Hardcover)
For a painstakingly researched book it is a pity there are so many errors and inconsistencies.
