Books by Ned Elliott

Find out about the origins of the sport, how football really kicked-off with the formalising of the rules, and about the most remarkable events, that have taken place on, and off, the pitch. This pocket A-Z is more than a book of two halves.

This ABC of the biggest sporting event in the world is filled with fun and quirky facts, from letter A describing the first Olympic games of the modern era in Athens to letter Z describing Zeus, who presided over the ancient games in Olympia. Amazing and little known facts about the Olympics will inform and amuse children in equal measure.
