From Word of Sport:
Let's hope that the finished product contains less errors than the publisher blurb.
Apparently the 2005/06 season was "the most successful season in Spurs' history". Do you think the Double winning team of '61 would agree?
From the Publisher:
Tottenham star Robbie Keane is one of the most accomplished strikers playing in the Premiership today. His quick thinking and poacher's eye for goal have made him feared and respected by club and international defenders alike. After the most successful season in Spurs' history, he sits top of his club's top scorers' chart, and is Ireland's leading all time goal scorer.
He first burst onto the football scene with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1997. After a then record transfer fee for a British teenager to Coventry City, Robbie became one of the hottest properties in English football, and secured a dream move to play in Italy for Inter Milan. It was a dream that turned sour however, before Robbie returned to England, finally ending up at White Hart Lane - his spiritual home.
With his hard work, tenacity and distinctive 'archer' goal celebration, Robbie has become a firm favourite with the fans. This story of the lethal poacher includes the pressures and pitfalls of being teenaged football star, his off-pitch liaisons (including with a former Miss Ireland), his bust-ups with team mates and of course that bout of illness which so cruelly denied Robbie and Spurs their place in the Champions League. A must have for any football fan.

It's A Fact!
"In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, 'Goodnight, sleep tight.' "
