Book Overview: From Bill Shankly's deadpan statement that football 'is much more serious' than life and death, to the priceless gaffes - intentional or otherwise - of such commentators as Brian Johnson and David Coleman ('The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey') sport has provided some of the funniest, most memorable and most widely disseminated of 20th-century quotations in English. Cassell's Sports Quotations offers over 3000 of these quotations, organized alphabetically under thematic headings. Themes under which quotations are listed include all of the key international sports from Athletics to Tennis, major sports stars from Curtley Ambrose to Zinedine Zidane, venues from Aintree to Wembley, plus various more general sporting topics such as action replays, The Ashes, captaincy, victory, defeat, sport and the media, foul play and sportsmanship.
