" Hornby, a former curator of the National Football Museum in Preston, has done a fantastic job to immerse himself in so many communities to untangle the threads that come together in festival football games." Daily Telegraph, January 2008 "the most purely enjoyable new book ... A beautifully detailed, superbly illustrated account of some of British football's most unusual games. Part of the excellent Played in Britain series, it's an engaging, enthusiastic account of the nation's most eccentric football variants: from public schools to small-village, pub-based free-for-alls. It's a book full of tradition, passion, blood and mud..." The Observer, April 2008
