Synopsis: Laurie Top is a talented footballer with a wayward personality. He loves women and has disastrous dalliances with a Page 3 girl and a Miss World. Risk is Laurie's buzzword, gambling is his personal philosophy and he is up to his neck in debt to his bookmaker. Now Laurie's football manager is becoming tired of his millionaire ways, and a clash is brewing between the old and new generation of football - as the dour manager threatens to call time on his playboy lifestyle. Football is a Funny Old Game is the second book by Kenneth Burke and this satire on the beautiful game contains home truths about modern football.
