It is a very good book because the 11 didn't give up. I loved it all. I would absolutely tell someone else to read it.

I liked the book because The Unlucky Eleven were unlucky at first and then they got better. My favourite character was Aiden because he was silly and shoved garlic up his socks.

They were lucky because they scored two goals because they thought differently.

It was about a football team that had a unlucky kit. I liked reading it because I like football. I think my friends should read it.

For half a term they didn't win but then trained and they won in the second half term.

My favourite character was Stanley. He is a good team player and the team won the final game.

My favourite character was Stanley because he fully believed that his team would win, and it’s important to have very supportive and positive people in a team.
