- AT THE END OF THE DAY A DICTIONARY OF RECEIVED FOOTBALLING WISDOM - TOBY NEWTON & PETER CARPENTER DECEMBER 1999
ISBN 0-9530947-1-5
A6 £5.99
Definitive pocket-sized whistle-blower on our new theatre of the absurd - the ever-growing torrent of ridiculous things that people say about football. Erudite, funny, easy to read, it encapsulates the love-hate relationship we have with football and its attendant tide of pseudo-scientific analysis and regurgitated cliches. Ideal stocking-filler for the obsessive in your life.
Over 500 entries include:
Greaves, Jimmy – if only he had been selected for the final eleven, we would have won the 1966 World Cup
Sex - to be avoided at all times, particularly on the night before a match. Also true for players.
