Reviews

[Phil Hodgkiss · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another set of quirky quotes

[Andy Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Two of the most unintentionally funny men ever. I never tire of looking through this book. Cheers up any a dull moment.

If you are irritated by the absurdly stupid things that sports commentators say, then this series is for you. Private Eye's Barry Fantoni has culled the choicest specimens, and cartoonist Larry has illustrated some of the ones most in need of visual explanation. Some random examples:

- And Wilkins sends an inch-perfect pass to no one in particular. (Cartoon shows earnest soccer player meticulously kicking ball down the walk-in tunnel, while team and spectators stare uncomprehendingly)

- Even when you're dead, you shouldn't lie down and let yourself be buried. (Four funeral guests and manfully resisting corpse)

- The fans, now, with their eyes pieced on the dartboard. (Too disgusting to describe)
