Ben Lyttleton

The season’s begun, the holidays are almost over…it’s time to get yourself ready to go back to class with the return of Football School. Proving you can learn almost anything as long as you know enough about football, join author Ben Lytleton at the National Football Museum in a classroom with a difference.

When do footballers poo? Can you play football on Mars? Why does the weather make Brazilians brilliant? And what is your favourite goal celebration?

Join author Ben Lyttleton as he teaches you about the world through the prism of football. Answering questions on subjects including geography, biology and drama, Ben will tell you true stories, real science and fascinating facts from his book Football School: Where Football Explains the World . The book was nominated for Blue Peter Book of the Year award and has been a #1 bestseller on Amazon.

You will also get a sneak preview into Football School Season Two, which looks at why balls are NOT round and interviews the Barcelona player who can speak eight different languages. These books are incredibly topical and effective in making primary school class subjects accessible, understandable and fun to young readers.

This laugh-out-loud talk is perfect for any boy or girl who loves football. Ben will be signing books after the event.
