Publisher's Synopsis
A thorough look at the world's most exciting soccer league
This isn't a work of reference, a compendium of lists, a collection of biographies or a compilation of trivia; it is a glorious mixture of all of these things, and much more. This book has something for everyone, with fascinating facts about soccer's top flight, from a tirade against prawn sandwich eaters to players who find the net season after season after season, from legendary players and managers to infamous owners with quick tempers and quicker trigger fingers to fire the man in the dugout. There are reports on memorable matches, exceptional seasons, crazy moments, in fact anything that appeared in the media, written, spoken, or social, all supplemented by player profiles, quotes, tables, results, fantasy teams, records, and other lists. Diligently researched, and offering a refreshing insight into England's top league, from the essential to the downright quirky, there are hours of fun to be had by every soccer fan.
