Something for every fan, neither a history or a collector's guide, nor an encyclopedia, but a bit of them all.

Spurs fans beware! And be prepared to challenge your knowledge (and possibly be demoralized at your lack of it!) about your favorite team. The 1,250 questions in this quiz book cover every aspect of Spurs’ long history, including players, managers, opponents, scores, transfers, nationalities, seasons, League positions, Cup competitions, and much more. And don’t pat yourself on the back too soon, as there’s an ‘Experts’ section at the end, designed to defy the most ardent aficionado’s powers of recollection. With a fitting foreword by two Spurs legends – Gary Mabbutt and Pat Jennings – this tribute to Spurs will trigger memories of all the nail-biting events and great personalities that have molded the club for over a century, and it is as much a reference book of amazing and wide-ranging facts and figures as it is an entertaining quiz book. By buying this book you will not only be treating yourself, but you will also be giving a seriously ill young adult the chance to enjoy a ‘Special Day’ – enjoying an activity of their choice with family and friends away from the difficulties of their daily lives – as £1 from every book sold will go to the Willow Foundation charity.

There is something for all cycle racing fans in Tour de France Miscellany. The world's premier bike race dates back to the start of the last century and has developed a reputation for glamour, glitz and glory. For more than 110 years, the Tour de France has provided the sporting world with some truly historic moments, involving many of the greatest names in modern folklore. Within these pages, the reader will learn hundreds of fascinating facts about the sport on a wide range of topics, from riders and teams to mountain climbs and sprint finishes. As the items appear completely at random, it is not really a book to be read from cover to cover, more one to be dipped into and enjoyed in short breaks. Painstakingly researched by the master of the sporting factoid, Tour de France Miscellany will bring hours of reading pleasure to every sports fan.
