plus awful injuries, silly supporters and not forgetting women
in the sport. Publishing in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, this
book will cover everything you need to know about football's horrible
history.
fully illustrated throughout and packed with horrible
stories – with all the horribly hilarious bits included
with a fresh take on the classic Horrible
Histories style, perfect for fans old and new
the perfect series for anyone looking for a fun and informative
read
Horrible Histories has been entertaining
children and families for generations with books, TV, stage
shows, magazines, games and the brilliantly funny Horrible
Histories: the Movie - Rotten Romans.
