Footballers are often maligned for their intelligence but no-one can dispute that they have provided some of the funniest quotes (intentionally or not) in the history of sport - and "Pulled Off at Half-Time" is the ultimate collection of these hilarious comic offerings. The title, inspired by a famous Rodney Marsh quote too risque to repeat here, sets the standard for the 1000 quotes from and about the most famous names in football.

Review:

"Nobby Stiles a dirty player? No, he's never hurt anyone. Mind you he's frightened a few!' Sir Matt Busby on Nobby Stiles 'Footballers are only interested in drinking, clothes and the size of their willies'. Karen Brady 'Carlton Palmer can trap the ball further than I can kick it.' Ron Atkinson on Carlton Palmer 'I've told the players we need to win - so that I can have the cash to buy some new ones.' Chris Turner motivates his team 'A strange bloke irritated by everyone, I think.' Gary Lineker on Sir Alex Ferguson"
