## Summary

A hardcover book titled 'A History of European Football in 100 Objects' by Andy Bollen, featuring a brown cover with vintage-style illustrations of a football and a boot.

## Description

In this fantasy football museum, Bollen delves into the archives to uncover idiocy and chaos from across the continent. The exhibits highlight the very worst of the human condition: greed, cheating, match-fixing, bribery, extortion, and murder.  Learn about the French captain who joined the Gestapo, the notorious football-mad Stasi boss, Erich Mielke, and Gaddafi's son playing in Italy, the 1970s Lazio side that put Wimbledon's Crazy Gang to shame, and the Romanian club owner who tried to stop hooliganism with a moat full of crocodiles. Along the way, you'll meet Dundalk's one-armed super striker, Austrian legend Matthias Sindelar, and the Italian George Best.  Bollen again proves the ideal curator: passionate, meticulously informed, and funny. His insightful take on the game is compelling and at times poignant. It is an exhibition for every curious football fan.
