DRIBBLE!: THE UNBELIEVABLE FOOTBALL ENCYCLOPAEDIA

Book ID/图书代码： 07980007B16171

English Summary/英文概要： Ten years in the making, DRIBBLE! is an A-Z of credulity-twanging facts and stories that includes: definitive explanations of everyday phrases such as ’keep your shape’ and ’low centre of gravity’, a complete guide to becoming a terrace wit, how Alex Stepney broke his jaw by shouting, why the old-fashioned British centre-half is like a red squirrel and hundreds of other fantastic tales from what Pele once memorably dubbed ’My bloody job’. DRIBBLE! addresses key hitherto ignored aspects of our national game, for example the relationship with Country and Western music and its long tradition of football-related songs. Jonny Cash dubbed himself ’The Man in Black’ in homage to his idol, referee Arthur Ellis, and ’I Walk the Line’ is arguably the greatest song ever written about the life of an assistant referee. DRIBBLE! will be every football fan’s must-have book this Christmas.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 耗时十年的《运球！》里，按照A-Z的顺序排列了……事实和故事，包括：日常用语的固定解释，比如“keep your shape”和“low centre of gravity”等等，还有很多故事，比如安莱克斯·斯泰坡尼怎么大喊大叫以至掉了下巴，为什么英国保守的中锋像个红松鼠，还有摘自《我的血淋淋的工作》的成百上千件有趣的故事。《运球！》里还收集了我们国家比赛的一些一直被忽视的方面，比如它与国家，与西方音乐的关系，以及足球歌曲的古老传统。出于对他的偶像阿瑟·埃利斯裁判的尊敬，约尼·喀什将自己命名为“着黑装的人”。歌曲“我走在线上”无疑是为一名助手裁判一生做的最好的写照。《运球！》将成为每一个足球迷在这个圣诞节必须看的书。
