Average rating
From the author of Ultimate Football Heroes comes the first book in the new Johnny Ball series, perfect reading for football-mad kids
Johnny Ball LOVES football. He loves reading about it, talking about it, watching it – and he loves playing it too. He’s a good player, but not quite good enough to make the Tissbury Primary School team for the super-huge Under-11s County Cup. But never mind, because their clueless coach, Mr Mann, has a special role for Johnny: ASSISTANT MANAGER! With only Grandpa George’s old scarf, a ‘pocket’ notebook and his brilliant football brain, can Johnny lead the Tissbury Primary team all the way to County Cup glory?

I read it but it wasn't my favourite. It was a bit too teenagery for me.

A really enganging book with a fun story line and unexpeted results.

I liked Johnny Ball because he plays football and I like football. I would also recommend it because he is very intelligent.

I like Johnny ball the most because he is very intelligent although other people in the book don't think so. Yes, I would recommend it. I like this book because it is about football.
