Media Reviews

'The encyclopedia deals with a wide range of subjects and issues, many of which have not been well covered before... If you want to know which player was convicted of murdering a referee, or who were the first two players of the same side sent off for fighting each other, you'll find the answers in this book.' - Lancashire Evening Post

'Bitty, dippy, a glorious meze that satisfies more than Giles Goodhead's lamentable three-course effort ever could ... Sublime.' - The Independent, Midweek Review
