About the book

Have you ever flashed at a googly in the corridor of uncertainty while on a sticky dog? Maybe you've seen someone hit a mulligan out of the screws to grab a birdie at Amen Corner, or had to deal with a falling leaf from God while trying to survive the Group of Death? The world of sport has its own language, wonderfully rich in strange words and phrases whose origins often stretch back centuries. For the first time, veteran BBC presenter and soccer legend Bob Wilson has created the most comprehensive guide to peculiar sporting terminology ever compiled. Discover the fascinating true meanings, heritage and evolution of all the great sporting terms in this brilliantly illustrated guide. -- Publisher description.
