An entertaining and effervescent history of the English Premier League told through the words and quotations of its players, managers, their contemporaries, and the media.
From Alan Hansen's infamous “You can't win anything with kids,” and Roy Keane's “prawn sandwich” rant to Kevin Keegan's “I will love it if we beat them...” meltdown, and Sir Alex Ferguson's famous “[It's] squeaky bum time,” this stylish gift book captures the highs and lows as well the fun and theatre of 24 seasons of the Premier League.
Published to mark the 25th anniversary of Premier League's formation and produced in association with the National Football Museum, the world's leading soccer museum, this chronological compilation brings together the very best quotes, comments, and soundbites to tell the story of each Premier League season, as well as a host of famous moments, in a unique and fantastically absorbing way.
