Questions, answered
What exactly can I personalise?
Their first name and surname, a boy or girl hero, hair colour, skin tone and eye colour — plus a personal message printed inside the cover. The name appears throughout the story.
What are the book specs?
A4 format, 28 pages, printed on heavyweight 200gsm silk paper.
What age is it for?
Written for ages 5–12 — young enough to believe it, old enough to read it themselves.
When will it arrive?
Every book is printed to order in England. Dispatch estimates are shown at checkout.
Is this official Sunderland merchandise?
No — Fantasy Footballer books are independent, unofficial fan fiction and are not endorsed by or affiliated with any club.
Is any of it AI-generated?
No. Every illustration is hand-drawn by real book artists — no AI, ever.
Their own Sunderland story
On Wearside, the Stadium of Light in full voice is where this personalised storybook takes a young Sunderland fan. Your child pulls on the red and white stripes of the Black Cats, gets scouted into the side, and wins the cup with a goal that lifts the roof. Name, face and colours are drawn into every panel, with a personal message inside the cover. Hand-drawn throughout by real artists and never by AI, it is a keepsake a young Sunderland fan will hold onto for years.
