Tales From the Pitch: Haaland

Author: Harry Coninx

Strong, quick, and physically dominant – Erling Haaland is the striker who has it all.

From an early age, his impatience and his determination to succeed always singled him out as a player to watch.

This is the inspiring story of how a boy from Bryne in Norway used his extraordinary skill and his total self-belief to become one of the greatest strikers in the world.


This biography is one of the titles in Ransom's Tales from the Pitch series. These books offer a fresh take on the familiar football biography format.

Each of these fast-moving reads focuses on one football superstar: some players who are still to reach the summit of their career, and others who are already at the top of their game. These are exhilarating reads about players from all walks of life. Many have faced failure, injury and rejection, to ultimately make their dreams come true and have inspirational stories.

So meet the footballers behind the iconic tackles and goals, and find out what makes each of these players so special.
