How to Become the Complete Footballer [Paperback]

Michael Owen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1999

Colourful, informative and easily accessible to even the most novice of players, this book may not have you basking in the glory of international acclaim by the time you're 18, but it will certainly help you improve your game.  Color photographs, illustrations and step-by-step pointers on all the basic skills give you the grounding to get out on the pitch and get going.  From kicking, passing, shooting, dribbling and volleying to more surprising inclusions such as a chapter on defending, this is the complete manual for the players and coaches of young teams. Action-packed photographs of Michael in action ensure this is aimed fairly and squarely at the young Owen follower, however, there is plenty in there for anyone merely wishing to improve their game.
