Who Invented the Stepover?: and other crucial football conundrums by Paul Simpson

You can find the answers to all these questions and more in a book which takes the time to consider the debt the stepover may owe to Dutch speed skaters, explores the most surprising world transfer record and celebrates the most dysfunctional World Cup campaign ever.
