In short
- What is in a personalised football book: a full story, not a photo album or a stats collection.
- Ours run to roughly 28 pages with the child as the main character.
- The cover carries the child’s name, and the inside cover carries your message.
- Every illustration is drawn by a human artist.
Products described as personalised books vary enormously, from genuine stories to a name dropped into a template.
Here is what is in a personalised football book from us.
What is in a personalised football book?
A narrative story in which the child is the player, running to roughly 28 pages, with a personalised cover and an inside message.
It is a picture book with a plot rather than a compilation. The child is the protagonist from the first page to the last.
Our book design page shows how it is put together.
Is it a story or a collection of facts?
A story. That distinction separates products in this market more than anything else.
Some football personalisation products are historical archives: newspaper front pages from the year of your birth, lists of results, statistics. Those are reference items for adults as much as children.
Ours is fiction in which the child plays for their club, which is a different thing and suits a different age.
What is personalised inside the book?
The character and the details around them: first name, surname, shirt number from 1 to 99, the gender of the main character, hair colour, skin tone and eye colour.
The club is chosen from 115 as of September 2026, across the Premiership, Championship, EFL League 1 and the Ladies Range.
The inside cover carries a message you write, which is the part that outlives the occasion.
What is in a personalised football book in terms of artwork?
Hand-drawn illustration throughout, with no AI-generated artwork anywhere in the product.
That matters for consistency: the character has to be recognisably the same child on every page, which is exactly what machine-generated artwork tends to fail at.
We lead with this because it is a verifiable difference rather than a disclaimer.
How long does it take to read?
A single sitting for a confident reader of eight or above, and several sittings as a shared book with a younger child.
Roughly 28 pages is deliberately short enough to finish, which matters for a child who resists longer books.
Writing on children’s books treats illustration and pacing as central to how young readers engage rather than as decoration.
What is not included?
There is no digital or e-book version, no other-language editions, and no non-football sports, at present.
Stating that plainly is more useful than letting somebody discover it at checkout.
