Very well laid out book. Covers everything I need to know as just started going to football matches
by Rod Swan
Kids are enjoying this book.
by Ferenc Korompai
This book is packed full of historical and statistical information useful even to the serious student of the Game; a good resource and reference work. For this reason the inaccuracies are annoying. The “goal area”, that is missing in the field description, is identified on the diagram as “Six-yard Box”. The book is 2010 vintage, yet it writes that the winner of the toss has the option of kick-off or or goal to attack – not so since 1997. It perpetuates some myths, such as: -the referee must whistle for the taking of a free kick, – the captain is entitled to communicate with the referee and – tackles from behind are illegal. It also left out second caution from the list of sending-off offenses.
Nevertheless it is a good acquisition. Recommended.

I’m a big football fan but have only recently become one. My knowledge of the sport isn’t bad, but it is a bit lacking, and this book was fascinating. I think it would be just as interesting to experts, though. It is written clearly contains lots of information on all aspects of football: a fun read even if you know it all already!

Bought as a Christmas present for a friend in US. She is beginning to understand football (English style – Americans say soccer!!).
by Dave Cousins
Mum is 78 and loves football, but she was unsure of a few of the rules, this book covered all angles, very informative. I hate football but she assures me it’s an interesting game….. needless to say she loved the book and I will never read it!

Perfect present for a work colleague who believes that man United are the best team in the world, it explains that they don’t do any of the basics ????, also he is a dummy who needs football explained to him
by Sarah Lowenberg
I grew up playing soccer in America until I was 16 but it’s been years and as I’ve been surround by the World Cup I realised I had forgotten a few things – this book was quick and prefect for what I need in my refresher course.
