Stoppage-time Q&A

SIMPLE FOR
EVERY GENERATION.

Buying for a grandchild and not sure where to start? These cover the lot — and we're a friendly email away for anything else.

How does the personalisation actually work?

You pick the club edition, type their first name and surname, then choose hair, skin tone and eye colour so the hero looks like them. Add a personal message and we do the rest — about five minutes, start to finish.

Is it really drawn by people, not AI?

Yes — every panel in every book is made by real human artists. There are no AI-generated images in our books, full stop.

What ages is it right for?

Written for children aged 5–12. Younger fans love being read to; older ones read it themselves — repeatedly.

Is my club available?

We cover every Premiership club, nearly all of the Championship, and a growing list from League One and League Two — 115 editions in all. Use the club picker at the top of the page to check yours.

When will it arrive?

Each book is printed to order, and delivery dates are confirmed at checkout — you'll see them before you pay a penny.
