Give us a goal! - Paul Cookson

A brilliant collection of funny and heartfelt poems about football - playing it, supporting it, living it, breathing it. From the excitement of going to your first game, to the thrill of playing like Beckham with your mates in the park, this book captures all the emotions involved in following the beautiful game.

from He Just Can't Kick It With His Foot

He can skim it from his shin

He can spin it on his chin

He can nod it in the net with his nut

He can blow it with his lips

Or skip it off his hips

But he just can't kick it with his foot.
