A ruddy good artist
*The Telegraph*
Squires exhibits his personal knowledge of the game in a way that
is thoughtful and, as with all comic satirists, really very funny .
. . On the face of it this may look like a perfect lavatory book
for dad for Christmas. But it is a lot more than that and well
worth the read.
*Daily Express*
David is unparalleled in his ability to highlight how ridiculous
modern football can often be with his unique brand of caustic
satire.

than him … hilarious

A bloody funny read
