Product Description

Review

"Why was I never booked as a player? Maybe it was all those afternoons reading You Are The Ref as a boy... a fantastic strip by a brilliant artist. This book is a fitting tribute to 50 years of a real football classic." Gary Lineker "It takes 20 Disney drawings to produce the movement Trevilllion captures in one. --Milt Neil, Oscar winning Disney illustrator.


Product Description

Think you know the beautiful game inside out and can do a better job than the man in black? Legendary "Roy of the Rovers" illustrator Paul Trevillion's cult classic comic strip puts you in the hot seat and asks the question: what decision would you make? Lavishly illustrated with explosive all-action images of stars from all eras, and packed with hidden treasures including fascinating and previously unseen memorabilia, "You Are The Ref" is the ultimate football book for fans of all ages. It is intended for anyone who has ever questioned a referee's provenance, suggested he should consult an optometrist, or unfairly mistaken him for a merchant banker - now it's your turn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tax your knowledge & revel in nostalgia, 4 Oct 2008
By DavyA (Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is a marvellous book of escapism.
It is divided into three sections, "The Early Years 1952 - 1969", "The Shoot ! Years 1969 - 1983" & "The Observer 2006 - " It follows the evolution of the "You Are The Ref" quiz strip from the early days (when it was known as "Hey Ref") up to the present.
This is not just page after page of "You Are The Ref" strips, there is a real variety & mix of all sorts of football nostalgia - old player profiles, match reports , results & fixture lists & sports quizzes - just magic !
The early days section is particularly enjoyable, even though it was before my time, legendary names abound!! - my Dad's generation would lap it up.
The quizzes (they are general sports quizzes & not just football related) from that time (ie 1952 - 1969), which are included along side the "Hey Ref" posers, are brilliant & include updates & amendments to reflect the changes to the answers as the years have passed.
The illustrations are excellent, the challenge of the questions is great fun & the nostalgia value (old pages from Shoot ! are also reproduced) is just what the doctor ordered.
If you are a fan of the "You Are The Ref" series, it's a must. It's a real notalgia fest as well ( I just love some of those reader questions in the old copies of Shoot !)
If like me, you used to love buying your copy of "The Pink", "Green Un" (or other regional equivalents)on a Saturday evening, then this will also be a boon.
I enjoyed it so much, I intend to hunt down the "You Are The Umpire" book that accompanies this one,so I can scrutinise my knowledge of our summer game !!

4.0 out of 5 stars A really great book for a football fan., 13 Jun 2009
The theme of this book is great for anyone interested in the beautiful game, and it is made even better by the beautiful drawings of Paul Trevillion. I wasn't expecting it to have old strips - I was really just expecting a collection of the modern ones - but they were still appropriate and interesting, though you have to work through pages cluttered with newspaper clippings that are not completely relevent but still interesting. I would reccomend this book to anyone interested in football, as the questions are enjoyable and challenging mind problems for football fans.
