There must be plenty of homework for the lads at Essex club Woodford, where John Uwins – co-author with his student son Rory – is first-team coach.

The book contains 55 backs moves, tailored to different parts of the pitch or off different set-pieces or aimed at different defensive channels. There is also a colour version but the moves are clear enough and you’re advised to practise them at walk/jog/full pace, against no/static/tackling opposition and with no/midi/tennis ball. As a final test, secretly ask a player to fall over mid-move to see how the players react.
