Classic Football Clangers: An Amusing Collection of Football's Most Embarrassing Moments from Over a Century - Softcover
Synopsis
In all sporting contests, success and inspiration compete with failure and loss of nerve. Soccer, being a relentlessly high-speed game, is particularly prone to crucial split-second moments of human fallibility and eccentricity. For every last-minute victory there is somebody whose overconfidence or moment of self-doubt leaves the spectator clutching his head in disbelief. From Victorian times to the 21st century, Classic Football Clangers takes a look at some of the moments their perpetrators would rather forget. Whether it's Germany's Oliver Kahn gifting the 2002 World Cup to Brazil, or Dennis Wise getting sent off 4 minutes after sending himself on as a substitute for Millwall—you're sure to find some of your favorite soccer gaffes in the pages of this book. Roberto Baggio, David Seaman, Gazza, and Becks all make an appearance, not to mention a small army of penalty-fluffers and eccentric goalkeepers who all played a part in at least one toe-curling moment.

About the Author
By the time he left school, David Mortimer's ability to gift the game to the opposition was established, so he settled himself in on the terraces behind the goal at countless bloodcurdling encounters, and from this vantage point perfected an aptitude for spotting clangers being dropped up to a hundred metres away. His other titles published by Robson Books are Classic Cricket Clangers (ISBN 1861056133), Classic Rugby Clangers (1861056125) and the new book Classic Golf Clangers (1861057431).
