'At last, the definitive guide to football phraseology across the
world... Sparky and very funny.' Paul Hayward, Daily Telegraph
''Amusing and informative in equal measure.' Oliver Kay, The Times
An expertly compiled and utterly fascinating compendium of the
weird and wonderful words and phrases used to describe football
around the world. To speak football is to speak a language of a
thousand tongues... In this ground-breaking global glossary of
football words and phrases, you'll discover the rich, quirky and
joyously creative language used by fans, commentators and players
across the world. From placing a shot 'where the owl sleeps' in
Brazil, to what it means to use your 'chocolate leg' in the
Netherlands, via Wembley-Tor - a phrase adopted by Germans to
describe a dubious goal - this comprehensively researched book will
entertain and inform in equal measure. Discover the unfortunate
Finnish term for a holding midfielder, what it means when South
Korean fans get nostalgic about a 'Leeds season' and why Dundee
United supporters should keep their heads down in Nigeria. With
over 700 terms from 89 countries (including 29 ways to describe a
nutmeg), this is the definitive guide to the global language of
football.

Brand Fusion: Purpose-driven brand strategy presents a compelling
case for what consumers, customers, employees, and wider society
are now demanding from companies - the development of brands that
deliver profit with purpose, are sustainable, and create mutually
beneficial meaning. It fuses theory-practice-application to
purpose-driven brand strategies in order to develop a unique
approach that has comprehensive theoretical underpinning as well as
practical and thought-provoking lessons from industry. Data-driven
case studies from a broad range of brands and contexts show the
application of this learning-from micro-brands to corporates;
charities to technology companies; retirement villages to aspiring
high-growth start-ups. Brand Fusion: Purpose-driven brand strategy
is an in-depth analysis of the philosophy and practice behind
creating a purposeful brand.
