Synopsis

No one can dispute that football has provided some of the funniest quotes (intentionally or not) in the history of sport - and The Big Book of Football's Funniest Quotes is the most comprehensive collection of these hilarious comic offerings. Compiled by avid quotation collectors Ian Spragg, Adrian Clarke and Stuart Reeves, The Big Book of Football's Funniest Quotes is packed with an incredible 1,500 ridiculous quotes from and about some the most famous names in football, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Ian Holloway, Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne and Eric Cantona. Bursting with confused cliches, mangled metaphors, comic cusses and idiotic football insights, this book really is the hilarious last word in funny football quotations. I couldn't settle in Italy - it was like living in a foreign country Ian Rush on life at Juventus I might be in a bit of a Skoda garage rather than a Mercedes garage, but I am telling you some old bangers don't half polish up great. (Ian Holloway).

Media Reviews
I could have another moan but I'm sick to death of my own whingeing. Steve Bruce decides to keep quiet. I don't read the papers, I don't gamble, I don't even know what day it is! Steve McClaren confirms what we all suspected. If United don't equalize, they might lose this game. Micky Thomas cuts to the chase. I think that France, Germany, Spain, Holland and England will join Brazil in the semi-finals. Pele fails to grasp that one plus five makes six. 'Carlton Palmer can trap the ball further than I can kick it.' Ron Atkinson on Carlton Palmer Nobby Stiles a dirty player? No, he's never hurt anyone. Mind you he's frightened a few!' Sir Matt Busby on Nobby Stiles
