Discover the most incredible, sometimes ridiculous, and always completely unbelievable football stories you never knew. Packed with fascinating facts alongside engaging black and white illustrations, the Unbelievable Football series is both a fun and informative read for reluctant readers who love football.
Winner of the 2020 Telegraph Children's Sports Book of the Year award, plus 'Unbelievable Football: The Most Amazing World Cup Stories You Never Knew' was recently selected as a 2026 World Book Day title.
I like to think of Unbelievable Football as my ‘weird and wonderful’ series, where I get to tell those amazing football stories that aren’t so famous and that fans might not have heard before. How great is that?! These books are brilliant for kids who are curious about not only football, but also the world around them, and with over 30 stories in each one, they’re especially great for young readers who prefer to read in shorter chunks.
