5.0 out of 5 stars Xmas comes early, 24 Oct 2007
By J. B. Weston "lazy reader" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sport: Almost Everything You Ever Wanted to Know (Hardcover)
The only thing I couldn't find in this marvellous tome is where Michelle Wie keep her spare balls on her caddies day off. (And it may well be that I simply haven't got to that page yet.)
But everything else you might ever wish to know about sport you'll find in its 940 packed pages. From the use of heroin in the 'pot Belge' or 'Madman's mix' in the Tour de France... and a pharmacopoeia of other drugs in other sports; the use of bungs in ancient Olympia; the origins of the Inanimate Bird Shooting Association; Roman Sport's Kits; to Anfield's famed 'Yellow River' that ran down the steps of the Kop. There's also loads of other stuff that you might get asked in the ' three options' bit of the pub quiz such as why do wickets have three stumps, why do centre-halves play at the back, and why a wooden spoon. And even if you don't get down the pub that often any more it's nice to have around so you can finally shut your mental brother-in-law up next time he screams ' If that's not offside can someone please tell me what is?'

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, a great present for all dads, 21 Nov 2007
By Mrs. G. J. March "gwyn" (Steyning, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sport: Almost Everything You Ever Wanted to Know (Hardcover)
I've had to wrestle this book off my husband. He reads one book a year so it has to be good, and he has loved it. I know - or knew - very little about sport. Now I feel I can hold my end up in any pub conversation. I've just ordered a copy for my dad, and brother in laws!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tome Raiders will appreciate this sports reference.
Although a very weighty volume - unsuitable for bedtime reading! - sports devotees will enjoy this book which reveals many interesting and obscure facts. Read more
