Description

The greatest moments in sporting history in inglorious technicolour, from the 'artists' known as NO SCORE DRAWS

'Genuinely upsetting.' David Squires

'Repulsively ugly.' Seamas O'Reilly

An Unofficial World Cup Hall of Infamy, featuring the worst fouls, best goals, most questionable refereeing decisions, dodgiest barnets, mintest kits and a host of 'Where were you when?' moments.

This is the first (and, let's face it, probably only) book from the multi-untalented team behind moderately successful Twitter account @CheapPanini, bringing mild bemusement to the world through the medium of wonky hand-drawn stickers.

You can't fault them for effort, even if they still can't do hands, so dive into these pages like Roy Keane into a tackle.


Reviews

'As someone who has spent/wasted years drawing wonky likenesses of footballers, this book really speaks to me. Sure, one of Mandor Hidegkuti's eyes has dropped deep and their Mark Van Bommel is genuinely upsetting, but this is a funny and loving collection, as fans of No Score Draws have come to expect.' David Squires, Guardian cartoonist and author of The Illustrated History of Football

'An exquisitely beautiful book of repulsively ugly drawings. Come for the terrifying gallery of disgusting freaks, but stay for the humour, nostalgia and sheer unbridled joy it shares for the game, and for sticker books; the holy texts of any football-mad childhood. Essential reading for anyone who's ever picked up a ball, a book, or a marker pen, and thought: "why not?" Well, it replies, this is why...' Seamas O'Reilly, author of Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?

Praise for the work of 'No Score Draws':

'It's absolutely awful and I love it.'

'Will absolutely ruin my partner's Christmas.'

'Splendid and horrid at the same time.'

'Were my expectations met? Sadly, yes.'

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
