‘I read this lovely book in one sessionEvery page sparkles with warmth, wisdom and humour. The book is dressed in a football kit but underneath is a celebration of family, friendship and faith. Very uplifting and very funny. I can't wait to find out what happened next.’ Bob Mortimer
'A truly funny, spirited and original memoir – I loved it. Noz’s wonderful writing is totally transporting.' Marina Hyde
‘Very charming and very funny.’ Kathy Burke
‘Apart from all the bits about United, it's great!’ Jamie Carragher
‘It’s the way Choudry examines this idea of belonging to something bigger than himself that makes Inshallah United so thoughtful. It’s fun, too, as Choudry muses on growing up as a Muslim Asian Mancunian in late 20th-century Britain.’ The Observer
‘A funny, thoughtful account of not just the magically maddening life of a football supporter, but also a subtext that explores stereotypes in faith and football.’ Esquire
'The literary equivalent of scoring a hat-trick on your home debut.' Stanley Chow
‘Recognisable, evocative, moving and fun. Noz writes brilliantly. Get this read.’ Graham Hunter
‘A charming, witty and engaging memoir.’ Late Tackle
