This is the story of football as it's never been told before:
a cock-eyed compilation of skewed match reports, spoof correspondence and quirky cartoons. A lot of balls have ended up in the old onion bag since the advent of the game, but The Random History of Football skilfully records all the key occurrences (well, most of them...) in this deceptively Messi of a book.
From pancake-tossing feudal villagers indulging in a Shrovetide game of kick-and-rush to modern-day players booting owls into touch, football's glory nights, historic howlers and great acts of hubris are entertainingly recalled.
As Sir Alex Ferguson so pithily summarized upon winning the European Cup for the first time: 'Football? Bloody hell!'
