Second Yellow: More Adventures of our Footballing Heroes brings you
more funny, fascinating and downright baffling tales gleaned by
authors John Smith and Dan Trelfer from their unflagging research
of over 240 footballer autobiographies. Together, they have pored
through the works of genuine legends, cult heroes and players they
can only dimly recall from their 1983 Panini sticker albums to find
stories and facts that will delight, shock and confuse - sometimes
all at once. There's the chairman who owned a ventriloquist's dummy
called Algernon. There's the Liverpool legend who set a team-mate's
wife's hair on fire. There's the Arsenal star who confronted some
innocent fans with a samurai sword. And there's the Ipswich hero
who took on Sylvester Stallone in an arm-wrestling contest -
possibly inspiring Stallone's half-forgotten epic Over The Top.
This book covers all the bases of the typical footballer's life:
love, violence, gambling, horrific injury, banter (it's mostly
banter) and, apparently, pigeons.
