Reviews

[Daniel Jacobs · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short but fun reminds me of the football episode from IT crowd

[mike · Rating 4 out of 5]

Parts of this book are absolutely hilarious. Useful for anyone wanting to learn football from an English perspective, even those who think they understand the offside rule perfectly. A mixture of football history, rules, and basic league and cup information.
