Football Mad

3.6/5 ( ratings)

FUNNY STORIES FOR KIDS

Football Mad – a story for kids who love football.

There’s only one thing stopping Football Mad Shane from getting on the football team and that’s his lousy header. The rest of the lads all laugh at Shane when Coach says one-legged nuns and cross-eyed cats make better footballers than he does. Shane needs to practice his football skills at home – away from his laughing mates, but when his dad only wants to read books and his mum only wants to do Yoga, Shane is forced to take drastic action.

AUTHOR’S NOTE
‘Football Mad’ was first broadcast on RTE Radio One and is set in Ireland which is where all of my children’s stories are set.
This is one of those stories that adults seemed to enjoy as much as the kids. I think it was because parents felt empathy with Shane’s Mum and Dad who were busy trying to juggle work and family life and snatch a little bit of rest when ever they could. They didn’t want to be roped into playing football with their son. After all – there’s no such thing as perfect parents or perfect children.
