I'm really into football so I enjoyed reading the stories in this book. One of my favourite stories was the one where a beach ball got thrown onto the pitch and confused the keeper when the Liverpool striker took a shot and both balls came towards him. I would recommend this to anyone who likes football and wants to learn funny facts about the game!
