The Legend of Saint Yves is not widely known in Britain, even though he is the patron saint of lawyers (among other things). In this informative account, Bryan Gibson places St Yves - born Erwan Helouri - on a par with Robin Hood, Jessie James and Ned Kelly in terms of their appeal to various national psyches - and up there alongside Joan of Arc and Bernadette of Lourdes as regards his native France.

Autorenporträt
Born close to what is now the training base for all England teams, St George's Park, Bryan Gibson has written and edited many serious books, but Football's Tallest Tales is his first surreal account. It is based on his youthful ambition to become an elite soccer player before being asked 'What would you do if you weren't a footballer?' He became a lawyer. In a book of tall tales informed by decades of watching The Beautiful Game, he invites readers to peek into his mythical football world, including the time he represented England against the USSR.
