Gareth Owen's lifelong love of football blazes through this stunning book of beautifully-crafted poems. All the joy, sorrow, and sheer fun of being a player and a fan can be found in this wonderfully funny and heartwarming collection.
Can We Have Our Ball Back, Please?
England gave football to the world
Who, now they've got the knack
Play it better than we do
And won't let us have it back.
