This is the first of an amazing and knowledgeable book for anyone who likes football, what's behind it or anything in between. You will definitely be learning and laughing through the punchlines they make through the book. From a footballer's diet and dictionary to mascots and kits, you'll definitely like the book.Finally, a well done to Alex Bellos and Ben Lyttleton for making such a fabulous read.

Honestly, I found this books quite tiring to read, even though it was well structured and they put football everywhere, there was not much text evidence in the story about why they were incorporating football in biology or zoology, it just didn’t make much sense. As a football fan, I would ask for a bit more oomph, but other than that, it was not a terrible book, with good humour and structure.

This is a very funny non fictional football book about lessons at football school. Alex and Ben are the only and main characters in the book but Alex is funny and Ben is smart. It contained fact about coaches, kits and players over the years of football and the changes too. I had interested me by the by the amazing , funny facts
