Description

A hilarious examination of the football commentary language we all understand but don't know why. Adam Hurrey's latest book is a follow-up to his cult classic Football Clichés, and it sets out to define the definitive rules of the language of football. From the accuracy of describing a shot that bounces before it goes in, to the anatomical impossibility of a header being 'lashed', Hurrey tackles the big questions that have puzzled football fans for years. With his trademark wit and insight, he explores the evolution of the language and the rules that govern it. With its unique blend of humor, analysis, and expertise, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves football and enjoys the intricacies of its language.
