But it's also about own goals, goats and the game gone wrong. \u003ci\u003ePulp Football\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the comedy rather than the beauty of the world's favourite sport, the farce not the force: the incompetent coaches, the 30-yard thunderbolt that ends up in the wrong net, the players' Christmas parties that ended up in the courts. Find out how a murder was uncovered because Blackburn built a new stand, which manager was sacked after only ten minutes in a job, which mascot pulled the head off a rival and kicked it into the stands and which player scored all four goals in a 2-2 draw. Written by experienced Fleet Street scribe Nick Szczepanik, he has unearthed some cracking tales and stood up some of those so-called football myths. With sections devoted to owners, managers, goalkeepers, players, mascots, fans and of course, sex, drugs and rock n roll... \u003ci\u003ePulp Football\u003c\/i\u003e is what it says it is: an amazing anthology of true football stories you simply couldn't make up!","brand":"Pitch Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172727308528,"sku":"9781785312601","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785312601_p0.jpg?v=1772806034","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785312601","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
