Muckfield

Muckfield is a book series published from 1985 until the final one in 1988. The series focused on a football team called Muckfield united who were the worst football team in the country.

History
The idea for Muckfield came about because the author Lee Pressman wanted to write a book about a monster. He then thought ‘How can I get more monsters into this story?’ The solution was to create a monster football team - then he could have eleven monsters. Having invented The Transylvanian Tornadoes I needed another team to play them, hence Muckfield United.
