Hi there, I'm the author of Johnny Ball: Accidental Football Genius (fiction) and Unbelievable Football (fun non-fiction), plus the co-author of the best-selling Ultimate Football Heroes and Classic Football Heroes series. They're fun football biographies that tell the exciting life stories of superstars like Gareth Bale, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, from the playground right through to the pitch.

So if you're a football-mad kid aged 7-107, you've come to the right place! For more info, visit heroesfootball.com and @footieheroesbks
