Griezmann Rules

Simon Mugford and Dan Green

If Antoine Griezmann is your favourite football player then this is the book for you! Discover how he grew up in Macon, France, and aspired to be a footballer since his early years. And despite being rejected by many top youth sides because of his small stature, how he battled hard to earn recognition and eventually become the Golden Boot winner at EURO 2016.

Football Superstars: Griezmann Rules is written in an upbeat style that is ideal for emerging and reluctant readers. The simple narrative text is supplemented with cartoons and visual jokes. Sections and chapters make the book easy to navigate and fun to dip in and out of. A supporting cast of players, managers, TV pundits - and even the authors themselves - chip in with quotes, jokes and comments to add to the playful and informative fun.

An Ipswich Town fan since they won the FA Cup in 1978 (it's true - look it up) he lives in Kent with his wife, daughter, and a cat with two names.
