The greatest quotable reference the game has ever had. Now in it's eighth edition, this compilation includes quotes from everyone -- Shakespeare to Shankly, Camus to Cantona, Busby to Beckham -- who has made an apt, pithy or comical comment about football. And not just footballers and managers either -- fans, pundits, groundsmen, directors and wives all get to have their say too. Every subject is covered -- from tactical debates to changing lifestyles -- to produce a sometimes hilarious and always thought-provoking commentary on the game. Anyone who thought 'sick as a parrot' and 'over the moon' was as profound as it got, will be pleasantly surprised by the elegance and insight on display. Contributions include gems from all the old masters: Cloughie, Tommy Docherty, Jimmy Greaves, George Best and the best of the very latest wit and wisdom to be caught in print or on tape.
This is by far the best collection of football quotes I have come across. 550 pages jam-packed with quotes from hundreds of different characters conveniently classified into different chapters on players, managers, fans etc.Books like this can be tedious, but importantly this one is very well presented and it's easy to find quotes attributed to your favourite club, manager etc via a comprehensive index. Very easy to read and so addictive, you might be up all night reading it.
