THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT for anyone involved in junior football for only £6.99 www.stevesbook.co.uk
The story of a dad who volunteered to coach his son's football team. Described as laugh out loud funny but also incredibly touching and honest.
A must for anyone involved in or has a child that plays in junior football.
What people have said about the book
This book is a refreshing surprise. Although shorter than the egocentric, ghost written football anthologies that appear in supermarkets, the author's offering here requires none of the padding as from the first minute, in true Sunday morning style, he gets the reader well and truly stuck in, on the ball and in the box.
And it's much more than just a football book; this is a book about parenting, about fears and expectations, about going the extra that many parents do, to make the world around the child a much better place.
It would be a shame to load the review with cliches, as the author avoids these with ease, but you do feel every kick, every bruise, every win and every loss. Heartwarming and much recommended.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and coach who has been in the business for 15 years. Put quite simply, whether you're a new starter like me or a seasoned pro. you will love this book.
It's full of funny stories (and some sad ones) that make you realise, you are not alone when it comes.to.doubts, parents and tactics.
A great read for any parent or coach

Candid take on football management
I'll start by stating I'm not really a football fan but this book was a great read. Very open and candid account of the author's first season managing a youth team. Very easy writing style: so easy I read the book cover to cover in one 2 hour session. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about everyday people doing everyday things, described with both humour and honesty

Great read
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Was late for work and didn’t get out on time because I couldn’t put it down. Having watched a lot a junior football when my son was reffing a lot of the narrative really resonated. No waffle just a cracking read.

Highly recommend this. I have coached/managed for the last 7/8 seasons and over the years I could relate to every part of the book it had loads of laugh out loud moments on holiday thinking of specific examples that were pretty similar to the book
That’s coming from someone who hates reading as well
