The new Discworld novel from mega-selling author Terry Pratchett. Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork - not the old fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving, but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go 'gloing' when you drop them. And now, the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. Because the thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football. Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!
