Funny, erudite, rich in detail and endlessly readable. Perfect for
anyone who thinks they already know about the language of
football.
*The Guardian*
Sparky and very funny... At last, the definitive guide to football
phraseology across the world. The richness of the game's language
shines through in this addictive glossary.
*Five-time Sports Journalists’ Association Writer of the Year*
Amusing and informative in equal measure. Who knew Dundee United
commanded such disdain in Nigeria?
*Oliver Kay, The Athletic*
Quirky, addictive, stuffed with anecdote, it’s far more than a
glossary… The writing is precise, light and often lovely. A
treat.
*Sunday Times*
A fascinating and necessary work.
*Jonathan Wilson, founder of The Blizzard*
Ein super Buch!
*Raphael Honigstein, The Athletic*
A wonderful, endlessly delightful book
*When Saturday Comes*
There are plenty of books about the language of football already,
but surely not one like this: funny, informative and truly
global.
*11Freunde*
By reading this book, you will discover the complexity, the colour
and the power of football’s global language.
*Clarence Seedorf*
A reminder that there are few better means of celebrating both our
differences and similarities than the game of football.
*The Guardian*
