The Illustrated History of Football: the highs and lows of football, brought to life in comic form…

In a sport full of handsome paycheques and corporate sponsors, he also casts a critical eye over corrupt backroom workings and helps pierce football’s overblown balloon.

Welcome to the comically brilliant and politically engaging work of illustrator David Squires, artist extraordinnaire...

Football and comics. Once a hearty Saturday combination to match cartoons and cereal, in recent years they’ve drifted apart.Thankfully for us, David Squires is here to change all that. Based out of Sydney, his football comics have appeared everywhere from The Guardian to Pickles Magazine. In a sport full of handsome paycheques and corporate sponsors, his work casts a critical eye over corrupt backroom workings and helps pierce football’s overblown balloon.

This book is an anthology of some of David''s best work.
