Description
The greatest moments in sporting history in inglorious technicolour, from the ‘artists’ known as NO SCORE DRAWS.
‘Genuinely upsetting.’ David Squires
‘Repulsively ugly.’ Séamas O'Reilly
An Unofficial World Cup Hall of Infamy, featuring the worst fouls, best goals, most questionable refereeing decisions, dodgiest barnets, mintest kits and a host of ‘Where were you when?’ moments.
This is the first (and, let’s face it, probably only) book from the multi-untalented team behind the moderately successful Twitter account @CheapPanini, bringing mild bemusement to the world through the medium of wonky hand-drawn stickers.
You can’t fault them for effort, even if they still can’t do hands, so dive into these pages like Roy Keane into a tackle.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
David Squires, Guardian cartoonist, praises the book's funny and loving collection of offbeat football illustrations, resonating with fans of No Score Draws. Séamas O'Reilly calls it an "exquisitely beautiful book of repulsively ugly drawings," highlighting its humour, nostalgia, and passion for football and sticker culture. Additional remarks celebrate its unique blend of splendour and horror, marking it as a delightfully awful treat for readers.
