Even Funnier than the Book

This is a very funny book of football anecdotes and for those of us of certain age brings back memories of certain players. In fact, some of the names go back even further than I do.
Ricky Tomlinson is the ideal man to compile these anecdotes. Certainly for me while reading the book I had this picture in my mind of Ricky with his heavy Liverpool accent telling these stories down at the local and having everyone in stitches and then I got the DVD and it was even better.
Here are a couple of one liners. There are literally hundreds of them:
Malcolm Allison: "Our 'keeper Joe Corrigan many be concussed, but it's difficult to tell with him as he always looks a bit dopey."
David Beckham: "My parents have always been there for me, ever since I was about seven."
Many of the anecdotes are several pages long but there is also a good assortment of one liners, like those above. Gaffs from players, managers and commentators alike.
If you are a football fan, you can't help but love this one.
