'The Book Of Lists' is the first and best compendium of facts weirder than fiction, of intriguing information and must-talk-about trivia. It has spawned many imitators but none as addictive or successful. For nearly three decades the editors have been researching curious facts, unusual statistics and the incredible stories behind them. Now in the best tradition of 'The Book of Lists', 'Book Of Lists: World Football' collects the notable, unusual and most outstanding of all the talk, stats, thoughts and opinions without which football would be just a game. Resolutely trivial and disconcertingly useful this guide to the sport that will be the talk of Australia come May 2006 is enhanced by contributions from commentators from the footballing world, footballers themselves and eminent writers (including Harry Rednapp, Dennis Bergkamp and George Szirtes).
