Description: "A family fun-filled holiday, Seaside football - match of the day, On the beach - the score nine nine, When the match went into injury time. We soon forgot our day for sports, When the wasp flew up my brother's shorts. Meet sensational scorers, dependable defenders, great goalkeepers and fanatical fans like Great Gran. Find out who always shouts at the ref, what is scary about being in the wall, where the wasp flew and why you shouldn't put mums in goals. Every aspect of the football season and more are brilliantly brought to life by poet and football fan Paul Cookson"--Back cover. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
