In addition, there is a light-hearted journey down memory lane featuring humorous entries on forgotten treasures from different decades and a stand-alone sport chapter with guides to both well-known and obscure sports, key rules, a glossary of terms and short biographies of the world´s greatest sporting heroes.

Facts are both newly researched and drawn from the rich treasure-trove of the Whitaker´s Almanack archive, which dates back to 1868.
