Reviews

The funniest football fiction since FIFA's annual accounts
*David Baddiel*

A wonderful love letter to football. So romantic and ridiculous, it could only have been written by a Fulham fan
*Richard Osman*

O'Farrell once again proves his immense comedic abilities with a book that is gag-crammed, ridiculous and fantastical.
*Sara Pascoe*
