From the Publisher:
The world of sport has its own language, rich in strange words and phrases whose origins often stretch back centuries. Googlies, Nutmegs and Bogeys is an illustrated lexicon - unravelling the true meanings, heritage and evolution of sporting terms - that will enlighten and amuse.
Containing old favourites alongside many rare delights, this book is a perfect companion to the glorious absurdities of sporting vocabulary that continue to enliven the English language today.
