A Little Bit of Sporting Wit

- Wednesday, 22 December, 2010

Two years ago we reviewed a series of four books, books which were full if quips and quotes made by the famous (and infamous) about Golf, Cricket, Rugby and Football. Well for 2010 they are back, in a new pocket sized format -

and they as perfect a present as they were when winters were much more balmy and FIFA hadn't upset the whole of the County.

Tom Hay has provided any sports aficionado with mini-collections of players, comedians and politicians to make a mockery of our game of golf - players, the great sports writers and stars of naughty films for cricket - players, the most famous playwrights and anonymous for Rugby - footballers apart, he didn't consider investigating FIFA officials for their take on bribery, corruption and back-handers ... look out for that edition in a couple of years.

At just £ 3.50 each and mini sized, they should be top of any stocking filler list
