Congratulations to the following 100 people who have potentially netted a free book. The first 50 to send me a Private Message (click my name and then "send a private message to MSE Natasha") with their FULL NAME AND ADDRESS will receive a copy.

This thread will be updated once all 50 copies have gone.

If I don't hear from at least 50 people by next week any remaining books will be given out on a first come first served basis (subject to whether you've received a book in previous giveaways, though it's worth private messaging anyway as if there are many copies left over, you may still get one) at a later point. So please be quick! :)

Please do not send me a private message if you're not a winner - just keep an eye on this thread, it'll be updated with details of how to request a leftover copy at some point next week (week commencing 14 June)

To do this you need to be registered for the Forum (if you're not, when you click reply you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course).

APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check back to see if you've won a copy week commencing Monday 7 June. If you don't get in contact promptly you won't recieve a copy and any remaining books will be given away on a first come first served basis, around a week after the giveway's end.

Also, please DON'T email in as your name won't be counted. Nor include your contact details in this thread as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum so your post will be deleted.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]wtd_icon.gif More about the book[/title]
The book's blurb...

"Whether you want to impress friends and colleagues with new-found football wisdom, brush up on details you're unsure about (the offside rule, anyone?) or improve your practical skills, this is the book for you! Covering all the basics of the game, rules and tactics, as well as giving an in-depth history of the sport and how it has evolved to the present day, this indispensable guide will get you up to speed on the most popular game in the world in no time.

With dream team formations, tips on football betting and supporting, essential coverage on the World Cup, and stats on current teams, players and managers both at home and abroad, football expert and Guardian journalist Scott Murray keeps it fun, fresh and knowledgeable to get you through the major tournaments and beyond.

If you'd like to view a couple of short webcasts on tips for footballing technique, see passing skills and dribbling skills.

How will the people be chosen?


100 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and announced in next week's email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips).

The FIRST 50 people from that list to get back to me will win a copy of the book.

When will I get the book?

The publisher providing these books will send them out directly though, to aid administration, this won't happen until all 50 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take a couple of weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
