Graham Poll, England′s highest profile referee of the last two decades, refereed over 400 Premiership games, involving more than 1.5 million spectators, and at two World Cups, placing him at the centre of some of the most controversial incidents in football.

In this book you get an informative, frequently provocative but always entertaining romp through the pages of football history and the major incidents that sent shockwaves through the game.

What was the real reason for the linesman giving Geoff Hurst′s ′goal′ in 1966 at Wembley? In the infamous Maradona ′Hand of God′ game, why did the behaviour of certain England players influence the decision of the referee?

How does Kim Milton Nielson, the official who red-carded David Beckham against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, view the decision now? And why would Luis Garcia′s goal that knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League not be given today?

Framed with other fascinating football facts, personality profiles and colourful anecdotes, these stories and more - including the big news from season 2008/09 - will provide a rich seam of material for Graham Poll, in his usual no-nonsense style, to set the topical football agenda and to enrich our knowledge and fascination for the beautiful game.

An unsigned copy retails at £10.99.
