Description
The Notts County Miscellany - a book on the Magpies like no other, packed with facts, stats, trivia, stories and legend. Featured here are more than 100 stories on the world's oldest football club ranging from how the club was formed in 1862 up to little-known facts about Director of Football Sven-Goran Eriksson. Here you will find player feats, individual records and plenty of weird and wonderful tales from a club that has rarely realised its potential. Rivalry with Nottingham Forest, the history of Meadow Lane and how the club came to wear their famous black & white striped kit, plus favourite managers, quotes ranging from the profound to the downright bizarre and cult heroes from yesteryear - a book no true County fan should be without.
