A VERY funny football book for all fansOver 1,000 slang words and phrases of hilarious football-speakHigh-quality wit from a bestseller authorThe perfect gift at Xmas and all year round A packed collection of dressing-room banter, tunnel talk, pundit-speak, gantry gaffes, classic clichés and terrace ridicule from the colourful language of British football. Short-listed, best-selling author Niall Edworthy brings sharp, high-quality wit to definitions for the rich jargon of the Beautiful Game. This dip-in anthology of terms is a celebration of the national game's terrace culture, a laugh-out-loud entertainment and essential handbook for all football lovers in Britain and around the world.Whether rolling off the terraces, yelled on the training ground, mangled in the post-match interview or muttered in the commentary box, the language of British football keeps on giving, a rich and peculiar dialect all of its own, peppered with spicy slang, clunking with commonplace classics and sneering with contempt and ridicule.Badger's Football Slang and Banter gives 110 per cent, leaves nothing on the pitch, stamping its authority with aplomb - and that little bit of quality - to create an absolute banger of a read for all football fans in Britain and the millions following Britain's national game from abroad.
