New Interest in football

Wed Oct 03, 2012 8:06 pm

One of my daughters(14yrs old) has shown an interest in football to the point that we both went to the game last night, and she really enjoyed it, I have over the years told her my love of Cardiff City etc. Anyway would anyone have any suggestions what football books I can buy her, as she would really love to know about the history especially any books about fans etc, and no not hooligan books :lol: :lol: :lol:

Try the cheap book/discount bookshops they always have out of date football encyclopaedias for sale.
Hamlyn books(publishers) used to do cracking ones when I was a kid

Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby. Tell her to watch the film as well - same title - it stars Colin Firth. Probably the best football film ever made, in my opinion.

I had a quick flick through 'Our Ninian Park' in the club shop. Looked a good read :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
