Books By Bryan Gibson - Author

Born close to what is now the training base for all England teams, St George’s Park, Bryan Gibson has written and edited many serious books, but Football’s Tallest Tales is his first surreal account. It is based on his youthful ambition to become an elite soccer player before being asked ‘What would you do if you weren’t a footballer?’ He became a lawyer. In a book of tall tales informed by decades of watching The Beautiful Game, he invites readers to peek into his mythical football world, including the time he represented England against the USSR. The illustrator John Cooper is an artist and stand-up comedian. His images include those for Good Moaning France: Officer Crabtree's French Phrose Book, TV advertisements, posters and cartoons.
