Summary
Terry Pratchett: The Invisible Academics
A Discworld novel Football has arrived in the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork. The wizards of the Invisible University must play the game - and win - but without magic. So they decide to try everything else first. A big game on the horizon attracts a young idiot with a talent for kicking cans, a chef who bakes excellent pies, a dimwitted beauty who could easily become the world's best model, and the enigmatic Mr. Nutcracker (no one knows much about Mr. Nutcracker, not even Mr. Nutcracker himself, and that worries him). The closer the match gets, the more the four lives become intertwined and forever changed. Because the thing about football - the important thing - is that it's never just about football. Forward ours! Forward ours! Forward ours!
