In all sporting contests, success and inspiration compete with failure and loss of nerve. Soccer, being a relentlessly high-speed game, is particularly prone to crucial split-second moments of human fallibility and eccentricity. For every last-minute victory there is somebody whose overconfidence or moment of self-doubt leaves the spectator clutching his head in disbelief. From Victorian times to the 21st century, Classic Football Clangers takes a look at some of the moments their perpetrators would rather forget. Whether it's Germany's Oliver Kahn gifting the 2002 World Cup to Brazil, or Dennis Wise getting sent off 4 minutes after sending himself on as a substitute for Millwall--you're sure to find some of your favorite soccer gaffes in the pages of this book. Roberto Baggio, David Seaman, Gazza, and Becks all make an appearance, not to mention a small army of penalty-fluffers and eccentric goalkeepers who all played a part in at least one toe-curling moment.
