The Rough Guide to Cult Football (Rough Guide Reference Series) ReviewI picked this book up on sale, not sure what to expect - having only a small knowledge of "soccer" (aka football for those in the UK) - I really enjoyed it. Rather than give you the basics of the game, it mostly shares odd stories and tales of bizarre personalities, from the famous (like George Best) to the unknown. There's also a few amusing anecdotes about the many ill-fated attempts to introduce "soccer" into the US. A quick, fun read that will make you want to learn more.The Rough Guide to Cult Football (Rough Guide Reference Series) Overview"The Rough Guide to Cult Football" is the ultimate companion to the beautiful game. The only football book of its kind, it goes beyond the usual back page material to uncover the most amazing stories and unlikeliest personalities on Planet Football. It reveals the stories behind the mavericks and cult figures that make up the real heroes of the game - from cultured mid fielders to jailbirds, drinkers to hard men, local legends to international wanderers. "The Rough Guide to Cult Football" looks at everything from special clubs - like the New York Cosmos and Berwick Rangers - to managers and football rivalries - from 'El Clasico' to the Faroe Islands derby, via an unusual roll-call of talent that stretches from Ferenc Puskas to Stan Bowles, Eric Cantona to Jose Chilavert and Garrincha to Perry Groves. It also recalls extraordinary games, from 'The Battle of Highbury' to underdog fixtures where the likes of Northern Ireland, Wimbledon and Dynamo Kiev overcame the might of Spain, Liverpool and the Nazis. Post-match analyses of football culture, ephemera, science and some strange statistics, complete this ultimate fiesta of football fun.
