Review
The Dictionary of Football is a fact-packed catalogue of all anyone could need to know about the great and the good (and even the mediocre and the bad) of world football. Despite the plethora of football literature in the post-Nick Hornby era, a comprehensive addition to the meagre canon of reference work has long been on the agenda. Ballard and Suff have managed to fill that gap with aplomb. Impressively up to date and well organised with full cross-referencing, their work leaves no corner of the game uncovered. The teams, the grounds, the famous players, the rules, the tournaments-- they're all here, accompanied by accurate, detailed descriptions. In addition, an array of football-connected miscellany and trivia finds its way in, along with two brief sections of black-and-white photographs which neatly capture a wide range of aspects of the world's most popular sport. Kicking off with erstwhile Bangladeshi champions Abahani, before closing with "zwiskampf" (a German word used to describe a challenge for the ball), this book will prove an essential source of reference for any self-respecting football writer and is bound to provide a source of enjoyment for many more inquisitive football fans besides. Football trivia lovers or those needing to settle an argument need look no further. The Dictionary of Football stands near to perfection as the ultimate football lexicon. --Trevor Crowe
