No more Buddha, only football - Chris England

Chris England spent five weeks covering the World Cup, when football became Japan's newest religion, constantly on the lookout for the odd, the offbeat and the downright strange. He ended up not only seeing plenty of football but also getting buried up to the neck in hot black volcanic sand, serenading Lawrie McMenemy with a bunch of drunk British MPs, performing stand-up comedy to a an audience who spoke no English, and visiting a railway station under the sea.
Like his first book, the acclaimed BALHAM TO BOLLYWOOD, Chris England's NO MORE BUDDHA brilliantly combines travel to an exotic foreign country with humour and sport. Relive the ups and downs of the 2002 World Cup through the pages of this World Cup diary with a difference.
