"What a wonderful game! You just learned to walk, but I already want to kick the rolled ball. But someone invented it, someone wrote the rules, someone gathered the first team in the world. This is the book about this. Simple, bright and joyful, like a game of football itself. "

"There are many books about the history of football. Almost everything is terrified boring. But not this one. She is more modern. People, especially a new generation, have forgotten how to read heads of 40 pages. The authors took into account this moment and adapted great. The narrative is divided into a bunch of small independent stories, each of which has its own interesting detail. This makes the book more fascinating and affordable for readers of all ages. "

"Working on documentaries about the emergence of football in England, I was amazed at how colorful stories were and how carefully they are stored by the British. The origin of football, the first steps of the great game in the British Islands (and then around the world), myths, stories, legends, fairy tales and jokes - all this can easily be combined into one interesting book with illustrations. And such a book in your hands. Read - perhaps after that it will become clear why, from the whole many English folk fun, it was football that became the most affordable and beloved hobby of the entire planet. "
Vladimir Stognienko, football commentator
