Soccer is about goals, great players and glory. But it's also about own goals, goats and the game gone wrong.  This collection looks at the comedy rather than the beauty of the world's favorite sport, the farce not the force. Find out how a murder was uncovered because Blackburn built a new stand, which manager was sacked after only 10 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. Nick Szczepanik has unearthed some cracking tales and stood up some of those so-called soccer myths. With sections devoted to owners, managers, goalkeepers, players, mascots, fans and of course, sex, drugs and rock n roll, Pulp Football is a truly amazing anthology.
