Summary

This revised definitive guide to who said what, why and when is not simply a collection of one-liners, gaffe and foot-in-mouth remarks - plentiful though they are. It reflects not only the self-mocking and often savage strands of humour, but also the wise, colourful and evocative descriptions which football conjures up.

The Book of Football Quotations by Phil Shaw

A guide to who said what, why and when in British football and beyond. It seeks to record all the witty, wacky, flamboyant, scathing, wry, pithy or pretentious things that have been said about leading players, clubs, managers, chairmen, fans, referees or players' wives in the two years since the fifth edition was published. The great rollercoaster of controversies - including Glenn Hoddle's demise as England manager, the ongoing battles with addiction of Tony Adams, Paul Merson, and Gazza, and John Hartson's attack on West Ham team-mate, and so on. The volume features people such as Michael Caine, Noel Gallagher, Jack Higgins, Rory McGrath, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Dowager Marchioness of Reading, Ian Dury and Eileen Drewery.
