Pickles the World Cup Dog and Other Unusual Football Obituaries - Hardcover

Pickles the World Cup Dog is a beautifully designed humorous gift book which offers an eccentric gallery of over 200 football obituaries. This original collection concentrates on the more unusual subjects, from celebrities (Rod Hull, who died while trying to adjust the TV aerial during a football match), monarchs (Henry VIII, owner of the first football boots), literary greats (goalkeeper Albert Camus) and musicians (Elgar, an avid Wolves fan, who wrote the first football 'chant') to God's creatures, including the '66 World Cup hero Pickles the dog, who discovered the stolen trophy under a bush before garroting himself on his own leash in pursuit of the neighbour's tabby.

Pickles the World Cup Dog will be the perfect Christmas present for every football fan.
