Football Superstars: Southgate Rules

Description

Is Gareth Southgate your ultimate hero in football? Discover how this 'posh' boy survived the mean jokes about his nose to become a dependable defender for club and country, and then after retiring as a player, make it all the way to manage his country, Despite the mean footballing environment, find out how the polite though steely Southgate stuck it out, carving a career that's seen him captain Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough in the Premier League, winning 57 caps for England, and then becoming England manager. The rest, as they say, is history! The Football Superstars series is aimed at building a love of reading in young children, and is filled with fun cartoons, inspirational stories and a cast of characters chipping in with quotes, jokes and comments. Review: Son loves them - My son loves these books! They are a great series and really got my son interested in reading. He loves sport but has to be encouraged to read - so this was a perfect combination! Bought as many of these books as I could, including some to give to friends as gifts. Review: They all want to read it first - My son and his cousins love this book (and the full series) - they'd argue over who gets to read each one first!
