Praise for Football Superstars;
‘This lively book of black-and-white illustrations and facts records the life and career of Marcus Rashford’ Sunday Times
‘With touches of the illustrated feel and sensibility of Shoot! and a bit of Roy the Rovers… a great way for younger children to learn why their football hero Rashford has become a figure of such influence and admiration’ Big Issue
After studying the history of everything at Goldsmiths College, Simon worked at the Science Museum making paper aeroplanes and setting fire to hydrogen balloons.

An Ipswich Town fan since they won the FA Cup in 1978 (it's true - look it up) he lives in Kent with his wife, daughter, and a cat with two names.
