The ambition with David Middleton's League-o-pedia was not just to showcase the incredible treasure-trove of footy facts and yarns collected by the man known by fans and critics alike as 'The Guru'. The aim was also to craft a book that will settle many arguments, and start a few more. It is, if you like, league's own Book of World Records - an A-to-Z starring all the great players from the game's 108 seasons. It reinforces Middleton's reputation as the best record keeper, researcher and historian in the game. Football aficionados will relish the wealth of information in this book. The provocative commentary - which pinpoints the most interesting and revealing aspects of each subject - makes League-o-pedia unique, compelling and an ideal Father's Day gift for all league fans.
