WINNER of the Sunday Times Children’s Sports Book Prize 2023
"Every page is guaranteed to grab the imagination and it's the perfect thing for dipping into at half time." Love Reading 4 Kids
A hilarious fact and fiction hybrid from bestselling author and stand-up comic James Campbell, who has visited over 3,000 primary schools to tell stories and encourage children to write their own.
Want to know why OCTOPUSES can’t play football? And how to play the game across multiple DIMENSIONS? How about learning the REAL RULES of how football is played, why Henry VIII banned it, plus where it came from and who the greatest players of ALL TIME are?
Whether you love a game of TABLE FOOTBALL, can’t get enough of BACK-GARDEN BALL, only enjoy the game from your SOFA or would sooner swim with sharks than play it, if you LOVE to LAUGH – then this is the book for you!
But be warned – this is NOT a normal book. You can read it forwards, backwards, sideways and in approximately 861,000 different ways in between. From comedian extraordinaire James Campbell, get ready to laugh your BUTT off to a silly book filled with funny stories and partly-true facts that will make you think twice about the game everyone thinks they know so well.©2023 Rob Jones (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
Every page is guaranteed to grab the imagination and it’s the perfect thing for dipping into at half-time or while you’re waiting for a VAR decision. With brilliant black and white illustrations throughout by Rob Jones, it looks great too. For fans and non-believers alike, football has never been so funny.
Packed with information, comments and observations which will keep the reader amused for hours. Though it's aimed at children aged 7 upwards, people of all ages will find plenty to chuckle about here!
