  From the goalie with expanding hands, to the first ever football (made of stone) and the match played on the moon, this book is full of some of the most amazing, and fantastic football matches ever played. This is another book, in a popular series, from a top-selling team and includes poems by Gareth Owen, James Kirkup and Brian Moses. It has wonderful zany illustrations by Korky Paul. The Guardian said, of John Foster and Korky Paul's most recent collaboration, Pet Poems : If this combination of verse and illustration doesn't make you laugh out loud, then you must have missed out on the sense of humour gene.
