Football On This Day by Rob Burnett

Football On This Day revisits many of the game's most magical and memorable moments which might otherwise have slipped under the radar. Here are hundreds of unusual highlights mixed with a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable football diary - with an entry for every day of the year. Revisit October 31 2002, when Madagascan side Stade Olympique L'Emyrne staged a protest and lost 149-0. June 19 1938: Dictator Mussolini tells the Italian World Cup final team: 'Win or die.' August 5 1970: the first penalty shootout in British football, in the short-lived Watney Cup: Denis Law was the first to miss! Recalling events that will make you laugh, cry, or shake your head in disbelief, Football On This Day benefits from brilliant research, gathering together many original stories and tit-bits to create a snapshot of the diverse and often bizarre world of football.
