Description
Two decades of Premier League football have brought glitz and glamour, wonder-goals and WAGs, billionaires and bail-outs - but how much do you remember? Whether you're a die-hard fan or a cosseted member of the prawn-sandwich brigade, Kissing the Badge will test your football knowledge and refresh your memory of the heroes and zeroes, the one-season wonders and the ever-presents. With 20 categories of facts and stats, quiz questions and soundbites, Kissing the Badge recalls the brilliant best of the Premier League - and the occasions when football's superstars haven't quite covered themselves in glory. It's time to sort the seasoned football anoraks from the part-timers who only sing when they're winning.
Author Biography
Phil Ascough is a freelance writer with too many years' experience of sports writing and business journalism to mention. He is a Hull City fan, although he's old enough to know better.
Reviews'Ascough is an engaging writer and the questions are interspersed with elegant introductions, as well as "Pre-match Warm Up" sections - nugget factoids to get one in the mood for a stretching of the intellectual muscles.' * The Two Unfortunates Blog (August 2011) * 'one of the most easily digestible and navigable trivia publications I've ever had the pleasure of laying my hands on. [...] The book really is a feast of facts for the football fan'. * ESPN Soccernet. (July 2011) *
