Tell Him Hes Pele

Beschreibung

Footballers may not be known for their profound insights, but it seems no one in the game is above a mixed metaphor or confused cliche. From Harry Redknapp to Martin O'Neill, Patrice Evra to Jason McAteer, see the funny side of the beautiful game with this hilarious collection of verbal own goals. Packed full of hilarious quotes, quips, and misfires from the biggest names in football, "When the Seagulls Follow the Trawler" is a must for everyone with a sense of humor. Quips include, "I've never been so certain about anything in my life. I want to be a coach. Or a manager. I'm not sure which," Phil Neville, and "My parents have always been there for me, ever since I was about seven," David Beckham.
