i thought it was going to be about AMERICAN sports, but its from the U.K. apparently...where "football" is soccer and it has lots of things about cricket...not exactly what i was looking for, but...it just would've been nice to know before i bought it...

This review is from: Fotheringham's Sporting Trivia: The Greatest Sports Trivia Book Ever (Paperback)

Some dull facts and trivia about a variety of sports, mostly covering alot of English and Olympic sports. However I have discovered a few mistakes within the book, most of them are wrong years.
