One or two of my most ardent soccer enthusiasts were rather disappointed to discover that this is a collection of stories with a football theme rather than a 'real (action-packed) football story'. Their first glance at the cover had led them to assume otherwise. Other less committed football fans were satisfied with stories about shorts which turned pink in the wash, lost tickets and raising money for new gear.
