The best chants, the funniest nicknames, the greatest headlines and enough little-known facts to keep the average football supporter entertained – and entertaining – for several seasons. This is the story of the greatest game on earth, from ‘abandoned matches’ to ‘Yeovil Town’, via celebrity fans, mascots, punditry and superstitions, written from the fan’s point of view and with a separate entry for every club in the English and Scottish leagues. Who cares why, if Torquay United’s strikers had been more prolific in the 1950s, England may never have won the World Cup; or where football hooliganism actually began; or who the hell Captain Henry Blythe Thornhill Wakelam is?We do. Because as every true student of the game knows: it’s important.
