Product Description

Review

A damned good read ... charming, off the wall and well worth a tenner (SUNDAY TIMES )

Connelly has a relaxed style and an intelligent eye for people and places ... his hilarious account of following the Liechtenstein national team should be swallowed whole in one sitting (THE TIMES )

A wonderfully recondite book (OBSERVER )

A must for anyone who loves the underdog. (IRISH EXAMINER )

Book Description

How a European principality of 30,000 people took on the world at football. And lost.

Format:Paperback
Charlie Connelly journeys through the world's 6th smallest country, using the international football team to explore this doubly land-locked nation which is wedged between Switzerland and Austria. An absolutely fascinating read which acts as a real eye-opener for all England supporters, as this miniature country, barely noticable on an atlas, battles through the 2002 world cup qualifying campaign. After reading this book, you're guarranteed to form a soft spot for Liechtenstein and will find yourself looking out for all their fixtures and results (if you don't already). Highly recommended.

Format:Paperback
A very funny book about Liechtenstein's 2002 World Cup qualifying campaign as seen through an English journalist's eyes. For some odd reason he decided to follow their home away and games on the back of a travel book on Liechtenstein bought in a second hand bookstore. His story combines the background of the country, its people and its fledgling football team.

The most strking thing is the strageness of living in a country with only 35,000 inhabitants, and how this permeats their personality. Especially the fact that it is all ran a by a bloke that lives in the big house on the top of the hill.

By the end, I was hoping the team would get a result against someone, or even just score a goal. They didn't, but that's football for you.

This is a wonderfully written book about the small country of Liechtenstein and their football team. Great stories, wonderful imagery, well written...it's the perfect book to read on a journey. Brilliant!
