The book describes itself as: “The only football book that lets you see all the goals, gaffes, and incredible incidents for yourself”. It is catalogue of Youtube clips which you can access via a URL or QR code. What an ingenious idea.
The selection is comprehensive from great goals to Jose Mourinho falling down steps, from Rene Higuita’s Scorpion kick to the referee with a gun. Sammy Nelson’s “cheeky” goal celebration is not omitted nor is Arsene Wenger kicking a water bottle. Referee Matt Messias accidentally elbowing Robbie Savage in the face will amuse most people! And if you cannot find the clip you are looking for there is an index to help.
The book will give hours of entertainment and is thoroughly recommended.
