Summary

Bloomsbury presents The Funny Life of Football by James Campbell, read by James Campbell.

A hilarious fact and fiction hybrid from bestselling author and stand-up comic James Campbell, who has visited over 3,000 primary schools to tell stories and encourage children to write their own.

Want to know why octopuses can’t play football? And how to play the game across multiple dimensions? How about learning the real rules of how football is played, why Henry VIII banned it, plus where it came from and who the greatest players of all time are?

Whether you love a game of table football, can’t get enough of back-garden ball, only enjoy the game from your sofa or would sooner swim with sharks than play it, if you love to laugh—then this is the audiobook for you!

But be warned—this is not a normal audiobook. You can listen to it forwards, backwards, sideways and in approximately 861,000 different ways in between. From comedian extraordinaire James Campbell, get ready to laugh your butt off to a silly audiobook filled with funny stories and partly true facts that will make you think twice about the game everyone thinks they know so well.
