Synopsis

Kicking Off: The Big Book of Football's Funniest Quotes is the most comprehensive collection of some of the funniest quotes (intentionally or not) in the history of sport. Compiled by avid quotation collectors Ian Spragg, Adrian Clarke and Stuart Reeves, The Big Book of Football's Funniest Quotes is packed with an incredible 1,500 ridiculous quotes from and about some the most famous names in football, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Ian Holloway, Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne and Eric Cantona. Bursting with confused clichés, mangled metaphors, comic cusses and idiotic football insights, this book really is the hilarious last word in funny football quotations. "What (John) Carew can do with a football, I can do with an orange" Zlatan Ibrahimovic replies to criticism from the ex Norway striker. "It's not important how many faults you make in a game, it's important that nobody can remember after the game. If you win 4-0 but make four mistakes, no one will remember." - Jurgen Klopp
