Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Offers a surprising diversity of subjects ... A well-thought out and accessible book that celebrates the universal language of football. (Daily Echo, Bournemouth)

Well chosen and humorously illustrated (Books for Keeps)

Children who love 'the beautiful game' will appreciate the range of emotions, the agony, the ecstasy, and the excitement described by the many poets included in this well-chosen and humourously illustrated anthology ... There is plenty of variety to suit all tastes ... You'll be over the moon with this anthology, not sick as a parrot. (Books for Keeps)

Earns its place on this crowded shelf ... An impressive line-up of contemporary children's poets ... For a football anthology for upper juniors this is probably as good as any available. (School Librarian)

Reseña del editor:

Covering a wide variety of aspects of football, both as sport and popular culture, from going to watch you favourite team, to kicking about in the park, collecting the club strip and playing for the school, this anthology represents the very best of poetry on one of the most popular subjects. It treats the theme seriously, though not without humour, and includes many well-known poets liked Alan Ahlberg, Ted Hughes. Roger McGough, Jackie Kay, Ian McMillan, Gerard Benson, John Foster, Nick Toczek, Paul Cookson, Roger Stevens, Brian Moses and many more. Tony Bradman is a highly respected children's poet, novelist and anthologiser who is himself a fanatic football lover and the author and editor of football stories for children including ONE NIL and three volumes of FOOTBALL FEVER.
