Was looking forward to a decent read – very disappointing. Might be ok for a 7 year old.

Thoroughly recommended.

I love this book!! It looks at how the history of the UK has influenced the design of football badges. Perfect for my teenage son who loves football, but not reading! Lots to learn and discover with brilliant illustrations and design!

I’m not sure what heaven looks like but I’m pretty sure the drawings in this book are the closest thing to it. Lovingly Illustrated by Adam Forster, he went the extra mile making them look pristine and perfect and if anyone deserves a raise it’s him.

Really enjoyed working my way through this book. A mix of Football and British History. You can’t go wrong. Very well illustrated too.

Some interesting information, but felt like it was aimed at children.
Beautiful illustrations.
