For millions of fans, football is the world. For countless others, football is a short-lived obsession that takes place for a few short weeks every four years. Goal is the must-read book for both sets of fans! It's a pilgrimage from the roots of modern football to that holy grail - the World Cup.
Footballers don't cry. Except when their team scores. Or misses. Love it. Hate it. Watch it. Play it. Every four years the world stops for it. Do you want to know why? Read Goal! - it's the best, most comprehensive and fascinating history of football.

Industry Reviews

Catherine Chambers also wrote 'A History of Cricket' and employs the same engaging conversational style in Goal. She invites the reader to come take a chair and discover why football is the sport for everyman (and woman). From seed-filled cloth balls to the challenges of World Cup qualification, Goal! is jam-packed full of football. * Aussie Reviews *
