A Step Too VAR
A quick note about the cover: This high-resolution photo was taken in thick fog at Blackpool, England, just around the time that the brontosaurus realised its time was up. If you look very, very, closely(!) you can just about see the modern-day computer pixels completely throwing the towel in.
The planet Earth's greatest sport has firm roots in ancient history. Everybody thinks they know where it originated, but nobody knows for sure. One thing is certain though... kicking a boulder around... hurts!
From ITV's The Big Match to Sky Sports Soccer Saturday... it's all here! 1960's to present day, there's something here for everyone! Players, Managers, Officials, Pundits and Commentators... past, present and future!
Want a fun football read but don't have much time? Then this is for you. A non-stop whirlwind of facts, observations, witticisms, snippets and short stories. Plus, amusing accounts of the author's own playing career... at a slightly lower level.
You'll love SOCCER A.D.

About the author
Chris Whyatt
12 books2 followersDuring swinging sixties London, Chris Whyatt was born into abject gravity... completely against his will.
During his teens, he was visited by Lucy Fyre, a much-maligned lady with a reputation that was mostly undeserved.
With the help of his translator, Trisa Whytch, she instilled in him a devilish sense of humour, which, like most things, people either hated, loved, ridiculed, or just plain misunderstood.
In later life, he apologised to those he'd upset.
Unfortunately, his Dad didn't hear the apology, as he was resting in peace.
Now... here's the boring bit.
He mainly writes humorous fantasy.
This is by no means a promise, though, and the right is reserved to pen whatever comes into his strange little mind with no prior warning.
You have been not warned.
