In this fascinating collection of true stories taken from over one hundred years of footballing history, Andrew Ward has gathered together the most extraordinary events ever to occur on a football pitch.

they include stories about the game that spectators couldn't see; the game that lasted four hours; the game that lasted four days; the matches between the strikers and the police in 1926, and between the Eton College and the unemployed boys; the games of three halves; the game decided by a hypnotist; the one in which the same player scored all four goals - two for each side - and the game where both teams had the same manager. A delight for all Soccer fans, Football's Strangest Matches is a unique look at some of the more curious moments of the beautiful game.
