BOOKS

The talkSPORT Quiz Book

Fancy yourself as a quiz master? Well, you're not until you can answer every question in here correctly and then yell 'completed it, mate'.

talkSPORT will leave you with this one: Which player has been an England substitute and then later played against them in a World Cup?

Can We Not Knock It? - A Celebration of '90s Football

One for nostalgia lovers. Named in honour of the late Graham Taylor, who barked the instruction at his England players as heard in 1994 documentary An Impossible Job, this captures 90s football in all its glory.

Gary Lineker pooing in his shorts - got it. Jack Charlton falling asleep in front of the Pope - yep. What about WWE superstar Shawn Michaels declaring his love for Blackburn Rovers? Oh yes, that's in here too.

101 Manchester City Matchworn Shirts

As you might expect, there's a few blasts from the past in here. The author, Mark McCarthy has the best collection of Man City shirts you're likely to find.

Exploring the story - and players - behind each shirt, there's Colin Bell's shirt from the 1967/68 title season, the play-off top worn by Shaun Goater in that 1999 play-off plus more recent offerings from Phil Foden and John Stones.

A fascinating delve into one man's passion. Buy it here.

The Top Five of Almost Everything

Based on the popular 'Top 5@5' feature on talkSPORT's flagship Drive show, presented by Adrian Durham and Darren Gough, this is the definitive top five of, well, everything… almost.

Also, as if that wasn't enough, it also sheds light on:

Which Olympic gold medallist became a stripper

QUIRKY

BE ROCKY

Sylvester Stallone has a shop selling all things Rocky Balboa, including the Stars and Stripes he wore to fight Ivan Drago on Christmas Day in Rocky IV.

You can also buy his championship belt to hang at home if you want, wear his fedora or even walk around in Thunderlips AKA Hulk Hogan's cape.

After all, what's more Christmas than Rocky?

BE LIKE ROB - AND HIS FRIEND DEADPOOL

A touch of Hollywood has taken over in Wrexham with the club's new owners, actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, assuming control earlier this year.

As a result, the club shop has plenty of nods to their owners.

UNNECESSARY COOL THINGS

Well, talkSPORT says unnecessary but chillers for your drink - no brainer, right?

And how can I make eating Frosties in the morning even more satisfying, asked nobody ever.

Well, now you can have more fun by unessarily dunking your flakes through a basketball net thanks to the people at uncommongoods.com. Probably works better with Cheerios, mind.

However, for the more pressing matters - like keeping your drink cool on the golf course - they have a couple of whisky chillers too.
