More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
A stocking filler if ever there was one, this little book contains curious facts, coincidences and downright weird stranger-than-fiction stories from the world of football. Remarkable coincidences, amazing facts, unusual feats, interesting and mind-boggling statistics, outstanding and amazing records, soccer firsts, great achievements plus hundreds of odd, quite unbelievable and occasionally outrageous but nonetheless true football stories and anecdotes. In the style of pub-quiz trivia, both players and teams alike are included. The youngest to the oldest internationals, champion appearance-makers, record goal scorers, penalty kings, family connections, promotion and relegation twists, transfers, fixture farces, discipline, tedious journeys, nicknames, manager's dilemmas, are all here. Illustrated with unique cartoons drawn especially for the book by cartoonist 'WAYNE' this is a book that will appeal to anyone who occasionally slips into a football anorak.
About the Author
Meticulously compiled by Tony Matthews, who has written many other football books, lives in Devon, and agrees that he really should go out more! Other titles of his for Tempus include: Images of West-Midlands Football and Image of Aston Villa.
