Incredible Football
ISBN: 9780008606107
Incredible Football takes the reader through sixty engaging true stories about the world of football, covering facts and stats about the world’s best players and teams.
There is a depth of diversity within this book – the men’s, women’s and paralympic games are all represented here. The book features stories from all over the world, with every continent represented – there’s even a story based in Antarctica, and even one about a kickabout in space!
Some stories give profiles of famous footballers past and present, such as Argentinian legend Lionel Messi, or the English footballing pioneer Lily Parr. There are also lots of fun facts from football history, like the referee that gave himself a red card, or the dog that ended up saving Manchester United. With player illustrations dotted throughout the book, there is also a handy guide at the back of the book for the rules of football, and a glossary of frequently used terms in the game too.
A great book for reluctant readers, the bite-sized stories allow you to read as much, or as little as you want in one sitting. Stories are delivered in a conversational tone which feels like someone is telling you the stories rather than reciting a list of facts. This is the latest book in the Incredible Sports Stories series by Clive Gifford, and readers that enjoy this will undoubtedly want to try some of his other books about rugby and cricket.
