Stunningly illustrated by David Squires (as featured in the
Guardian), The Illustrated History of Football is a wry look at the
highs and lows of the beautiful game. Laugh-out- loud and
occasionally moving, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves
football. 'Squires is the master of the football comic strip and
this collection is recommended reading for enlightened football
fans everywhere' -- Late Tackle 'No one captures the absurdities
and ugliness of football better than him ... hilarious' -- Coach
Magazine '[Illustrated History of Football] is the funniest
football tome since Viz's Billy the Fish Football Yearbook,
published 26 years earlier' -- Esquire 'Simply brilliant - my
favourite football book' -- ***** Reader review 'Completely amazing
cartoons with beautiful insight as to the how, why, when & wow'
-- ***** Reader review 'Simply wonderful' -- ***** Reader review
'One of the funniest books I've read in a very long time. A must
for anyone who loves football' -- ***** Reader review
*********************************************************************************************
Football and comics. Once a hearty Saturday combination to match
cartoons and cereal, in recent years they've drifted apart.
Thankfully for us, illustrator Squires is here to change all that.
In The Illustrated History of Football, his first book, Squires
relives some of football's most glorious moments and meets its
greatest figures. In a sport full of handsome paycheques and
corporate sponsors, he also casts a critical eye over corrupt
backroom workings and helps pierce football's overblown balloon.
Funny, good-looking and preternaturally astute, this book is
everything Sepp Blatter wishes he could be. More than the
archetypal loo book, this is a satirical look at the highs and lows
of football and the perfect gift for all fans...
