Omschrijving
In a sport full of handsome paycheques and corporate sponsors, he also casts a critical eye over corrupt backroom workings and helps pierce football’s overblown balloon.
Funny, good-looking and preternaturally astute, this book is everything Sepp Blatter wishes he could be.
A ruddy good artist
Squires exhibits his personal knowledge of the game in a way that is thoughtful and, as with all comic satirists, really very funny . . . On the face of it this may look like a perfect lavatory book for dad for Christmas. But it is a lot more than that and well worth the read.
David is unparalleled in his ability to highlight how ridiculous modern football can often be with his unique brand of caustic satire.
You will really want to buy it
Squires is the master of the football comic strip and this collection is recommended reading for enlightened football fans everywhere.
Brilliant
If you’re not familiar with the work of David Squires, then you really have been deprived up to now
No one captures the absurdities and ugliness of football better than him … hilarious
A bloody funny read
Squires’ opening lines sets the tone for a lively, tongue-in-cheek history of the beautiful game, accompanied by some excellent illustrations.
This is an absolute landmark of football literature – worthy of the same status as Football Grounds of Europe , Inverting the Pyramid and All Played Out . This is not least because of the mind boggling amount of work involved – all the more prodigious given that Squires is a regular provider of comic strips for The Guardian . . . this is a genuinely funny book
[Illustrated History of Football] is the funniest football tome since Viz's Billy the Fish Football Yearbook, published 26 years earlier.
