101 Things You Should Know About Football
The magic of football often seems to boil down to a kind of universal given: everyone knows everything about it. Is that really the case?
In 101 Things You Should Know About Football, Rui Miguel Tovar, one of Portugal's leading sports journalists and commentators, selects a hundred interesting facts—a hundred interesting facts, plus one more, in fact...—with the intention of proving to you, dear reader, surely the greatest football expert alive and well, that you might not know as much as you think.
Looking for examples? Well then: Which club was the only one to win the Taça de Portugal after eliminating Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting? Who was the first person from Madeira to represent the Portuguese National Team? Who was the first Portuguese international to compete in two different sports? Which Portuguese club was the only one to concede a goal to Maradona? Which English club is the only one to have been relegated despite winning the league title?
If you know the answers to these questions, perhaps you don't really need this book after all...
