Bloomsbury presents What You Think You Know About Football is Wrong by Kevin Moore, read by Ed Killingback.
Our view of football will never be the same again- Written by a world-respected football historian, this football history/gift title reveals the global game's greatest myths and untruths.
Football has been completely mythologized and many of the things football fans think they know about football and its history turn out not to be true. We want to believe the myths, and so they become accepted. So much football writing is not properly researched, and so the myths get repeated- again and again and again.
Backed up by the highest level of academic research yet written in an accessible, mass-market style, the book will explore the truth behind many accepted myths. For example, did you know:
- The Germans took football to Brazil, not the English
- Rugby and not football could quite easily have been the world's leading sport
- There are gay professional players -.and always have been!
- Goalkeepers should not dive for penalties
- Football hooliganism did not begin in England
- Shirt colours do make a difference
- Cambridge and not Sheffield is the home of the oldest football club in the world
- Arsenal should not be in the Premier League- they cheated to be there
- The Dynamo Kiev team were not executed after beating a German SS team in 1941
- England did not win the World Cup fairly in 1966 - but not in the way you think!
Written by Kevin Moore, the founding director of the National Football Museum (the world's leading football museum), this thoroughly researched and authoritative book will debunk more than 50 of the greatest myths surrounding football.
Dr Kevin Moore is the founding director of the National Football Museum (the world's leading football museum) and now serves in a research capacity at the Museum. He is on the editorial board of the world-leading academic journal for football, Soccer and Society, and holds key roles at the International Football Institute, the Chinese Football Museum and Indian Sports Museum.
