Short description
This collection of hilarious gaffes, slip-ups and balls-ups from the beautiful game will leave you amazed that our national sport continues to function at all.
Long description
'There are two ways of getting the ball. One is from your own team-mates, and that's the only way.' - Terry Venables. Filling in a credit card application form, Jason McAteer came to the question that asked: 'What is your position in the company?' His answer was 'right-back'. An intelligent footballer is one whose I.Q. is higher than his shirt number. But it's not just the players. Managers, commentators, fans, bookmakers - it seems that anyone connected with football excels at verbal blunders. Warning for footballers: You will need to turn this book over again before you can start reading it.
Review
Two very funny little mini-books published just before we're submerged by the World Cup - the first is for football widows to help turn a dreaded evening into a night to remember and the second is a collection of classic clangers dropped by some of the luminaries of the beautiful game.
