    Tears of laughter...everything we love and hate about football captured in a lovely book
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2017*

My husband gave me this as a Christmas present and I only just now got a chance to read it (2 toddlers...it's hard to find time).  I read David Squires every week in the Guardian, so I was certain this would be hilarious.This book is AMAZING!  I was already familiar with most of the events in this "history", and loved all the new details I learned and the humorous slant on much discussed and romanticized events.  Squires's ability to capture the essence of all the famous footballers' faces also kind of amazes me.  How can a "cartoon" look so much like the real thing?  The cartoons on the right hand side of the pages are, of course, fantastic, but I enjoyed reading the prologues to every cartoon almost as much.I kept wanting to talk to other people about this book but no one has read it!!  So everyone please buy this book so I can talk to someone about it.  :-)

    Mega read
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2016*

I rarely write reviews, but am compelled to do so for Mr. Squires' masterpiece. If you are remotely interested in sport and it's evolution in modern society, through the lens of a hilarious cynic who doubles as an outstanding artist, then you will enjoy this work.  I do not normally go for comics or illustrations, yet the intricate detail (often requiring several views to catch all of the sly humor), "in-the-know" in-jokes and social commentary makes Mr. Squires' book incredibly enjoyable to read and re-read.  American readers make not understand all of the U.K.-centric items, however, that should not prohibit anyone from enjoying this book.  My only suggestion to Mr. Squires is to incorporate the three "football hipsters" into his work at the Guardian.

    Must-have for the lover of humor in sport
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 15, 2017*

This book is highly enjoyable, complete with classic laconic British humor and contextual references that may need prior understanding. However, with the benefit of information age, the numerous jokes may not be entirely lost on those who love humor in sport. The genius of Mr. Squires is two fold - to transform situations that sometimes call for serious approach into utterly hilarious sequences and juxtapose non-sporting entities (characters, events) with football. I have been reading his weekly Guardian column for over a year now and it is no exaggeration that some of his work there left me doubled up in laughter. I used to think comic panels in newspapers and books was a dying art but Mr. Squires made me think otherwise. Highly recommended.
