Books, Manuscripts
Have you ever heard of the football club founded by ex-KGB officers, the 21-time champions of Moldova? How about the Vatican Cup? Contested by eight clubs made up of Vatican members, who've been suspended on several occasions due to fierce rivalries. Maybe you're more familiar with the Spanish team that actually resides in North Africa? Whether you're a football hipster or five-a-side novice, join renowned football writer Paul Watson for a hilariously intrepid guide through the weird, wacky and wonderful world of football. 'Around the World in 80 Clubs' takes the reader on a global tour of the beautiful game, from the squirrel-costume wearing fans of Andorra's UE Santa Coloma to the Buddhist monk ultras of Bhutan's Thimpu City, via Greenland's one-week season, through to priestly punch-ups in the Vatican City. This compendium is packed with footballing stories you have never heard of but will never forget.
