Book Synopsis

Football On This Day revisits the beautiful game’s most magical and memorable moments, mixing in a maelstrom of anecdotes and characters to produce an irresistibly dippable diary with an entry for every day of the year.

Remember the time Eric Cantona went kung-fu fighting? Or when Kevin Keegan told us how much he would have loved it? From World Cup triumphs to narrow relegation escapes, we all have our favourite footballing memories.

This book brings together the wonder goals, the heroes, the villains, the funny, the sad and the downright bizarre from every day of the year. Discover who invented the FA Cup, find out which non-league club claim to be the first world champions, or just look up what happened on your birthday.

Written by long-suffering Southampton fan Rob Burnett and even longer-suffering Leeds fan Joe Mewis, the book covers those events that flesh out the beautiful game in handy day-by-day chunks that will give every footy fanatic their daily dose of football trivia.
