50 Times Football Changed the World

Inclusive and informative

My family couldn’t get enough of this book, and I’ve just bought my nephew a copy for Christmas as well. It really makes you realise the power and positive impact football has had, and can continue to have on the world.Would recommend highly for children aged 8+ and even fun for their adults too!

Fantastic football book highlights many team and grassroots teams so informative

Book would be great for social issue education however if your kid is football crazy (8yo) they might find it boring as they want more stories about actual football games.

My boy loves this book and it would have had 5 stars if the pages were the same way around as the cover 😂

My daughter loves foot ball and this will be a great gift

A present for my grandson.

This book is packed full of footballing facts and history. Some of the stories and facts I knew, some were completely new to me. So fact number 9 - the match played during the First World War between Germany and Britain I was familiar with, but fact number 31 Panyee FC the team that played on the sea - I didn't know about that at all. There are facts from all over the world, about the fight against racism, the development of the women's game and so much more.12 of the facts are "Gamechangers" so people or teams who have changed or influenced the game. If you had less interest in football but were interested in social history you would still find this book fascinating.Recommended age range is 8-11 years (on the product page) but this is a book that anyone with an interest in football would find appealing. It's something the whole family could read together. There is quite a lot of text so children who aren't confident readers may need some help.Overall - excellent gift for anyone with an interest in football.
