At last, the definitive collection of funny and brilliantly clever quotes from football's favourite commentator - Dennis Cometti.
For thirty years or so, the urbane Dennis Cometti has called AFL matches, first on radio and then on television, providing a parade of remarks that have become known as 'Cometti-isms'. 'Centimetre Perfect' and 'bobbing up like a cork in the ocean' have become his trademark phrases, entering the vernacular of football commentary.
- 'Scotty Cummings alone in the square, jumping up and down and waving his arms like they're playing My Sharona...'
- 'Farmer may have an injury to has calf... hmmm, a farmer with a calf problem...'
- 'Spider had both his legs taken out from under him -- leaving only the other six to balance on...'
- 'Barlow to Bateman. The Hawks are attacking alphabetically...'
These and many more have finally been brought together in a pocket book of classic quotes that will appeal to football fans who love clever, corny wordplay and sharp observations. And all from a much loved and respected man of football. Currently keeping Mr McGuire in check on Nine's Friday Night Football, Dennis is a regular on Perth's 6PR and has a regular footy column in the West.
