{"product_id":"9780008867652","title":"The Book of Haaland: Live life the Striking Viking way","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe wit and wisdom of the world's most viral footballer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart superhuman goal machine, part meditating ice sculpture, Erling Haaland is iconic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the 2026 World Cup he scored in his first game, slotted in a further six, and sent Brazil packing, before somehow talking about it like he'd just nipped out for milk. Throw in a cowboy hat, a stuffed racoon and an iconic rowing celebration and the Striking Viking’s status as everybody’s favourite cult footballer was assured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd somewhere along the line, this talismanic Norwegian has become football's most reluctant philosopher too. \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Haaland\u003c\/em\u003e collects his finest deadpan pronouncements — on goals, farms, tractors, hat-tricks, and the sacred importance of sunlight in your eyes at 6 am — into one pocket-sized tribute to the biggest character in football.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a book for anyone who's ever watched Haaland celebrate like he's about to start a silent retreat and wondered if he's secretly the wisest man in the sport — or just really, really good at scoring goals. Equal parts admiring tribute, good-natured banter and accidental self-help, it's the ideal stocking-filler for the football obsessive, the aspiring warrior, or the little one who just can’t stop singing THAT song. Open anywhere; feel oddly better about everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperNorth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47734792847509,"sku":"9780008867652","price":12.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780008867652.png?v=1786970648","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780008867652","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
