Funny Old Game cover

Funny Old Game is a compelling collection of more than 200 hilarious football stories from Britain and around the world – from the origins of the game right up to the present day. Filled with fun anecdotes, bizarre records and tons of trivia, the book uncovers the weirder side of the beautiful game. With forgotten history, reports of the most famous – and infamous – matches, plus plenty of obscure and silly ‘funny haha’ and ‘funny peculiar’ moments, it’s guaranteed to amuse. Along the way we meet maverick players, bad referees, mischievous ball boys and unruly mascots. From the goalkeeper sent off for handling the ball in the area, to the overly enthusiastic police dog that saved a club from relegation, it brings you the good, the bad and the ugly of the most played, watched and talked-about sport on the planet. Easy to read and unputdownable, this is a book for all football fans.
