Do you know someone who’s curious about how the beautiful game earned its name? Kick off their education with Ladybird’s Story of Football. Before leather balls and goal posts, kids once used tin cans and stones. Laws were even passed under the reign of Queen Elizabeth forbidding men to play football! But there’s much more to this vintage ladybird book…
Featuring the recipient’s name on the cover and throughout the original ladybird artwork, the book is written in large clear script and easy to read. You can even add a special message on the inside page too. This personalised ladybird book guarantees you’ll have a football fanatic on your hands in no time!
How to Personalise Your Ladybird Football Book

Add a message of 2 lines, up to 40 characters per line which will appear on the opening page. Check your personalisation: accents and other symbols cannot be used unless otherwise stated.

Lovely book with my granddaughter’s name printed throughout, our message to her and a lovely photo of her at the back. Can’t wait to give it to her for Christmas

I think my grandson will love this book. As he lives in China I am not able to send heavy items to him and his sisters for their birthdays so books are always welcome. He is besotted with dinosaurs so I am sure he will be amazed that his name is in a story all of his own!

Disappointed
The book came & it is for my dad who is 88. The print in the book is extremely small & not very clear. I can hardly read it so I’m not sure if he will be able to. Not worth the money and very disappointed with this.
