Top 10 Of Football
by Russell Ash & Ian Morrison

Top 10 Of Football is a great little book of no less than 250 lists of Top 10’s covering everything to do with the game of football – beautiful and not so beautiful.

Thinking I am fairly knowledgeable when it comes to English football I was given a surprise or too.  For example, did you know James Milner was the most capped England Under-21 player of all time? And could you name, in order, the top 3 England managers when worked out as a percentage of games won? And what about the top 3 England goal scorers of all-time?  Just three England Top 10’s I failed miserably on.

But the book covers much more than England and English football.  There are chapters devoted to the World Cup, European Championship, African Nations Cup, international club tournaments in Europe, South America, Asia and Africa as well as international sections on Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. There is even Top 10’s on football managers, football trivia, money, non-league football and Women’s football.

How many could you names in the Top 10 latest occasions that the British transfer record was broken? (as of 1st November 2009).  Now that was a surprise!

Top 10 Of Football is a perfect book for a train journey, to take on holiday, reference or fun to pull out with some friends after a few drinks.
