I'll be honest — I was never the biggest football fan. I never had a team I followed religiously or matches I absolutely couldn't miss. Well... except for a few moments in life, like the time I was dating someone who played in a team and suddenly I became their biggest supporter, the school matches, World Cup seasons of course. And now, becoming a football mum and watching my own children get into sports. Funny enough, I can remember something from every one of those moments. The people, the laughs, the atmosphere, the stories. Now that I'm waking up early on Saturday mornings for an 8am game, I can see football is about much more than what happens on the field. It's the excitement before a first match, the group of mates who never miss their weekly game, the parent cheering louder than everyone else from the sidelines, or the child who suddenly wants to practise every day because one goal made them believe they can do anything. It's these exact moments that make the perfect foundation for a personalised football book. Sometimes it's even the parent who volunteered because nobody else did, learned the rules along the way and somehow ended up coaching the team all the way to the finals.
