Horrid Henry and the Football Fiend is the fourteenth volume in the series, where the title story focuses on Henry's chaotic involvement with football (soccer). Henry, likely not a talented player, probably causes mayhem during a school match, tries to cheat to win, or focuses all his energy on proving he is the best player, often leading to ridiculous disputes and disastrous results on the field. The collection contains four short stories that use the theme of sport and competition to showcase Henry’s competitive nature and his refusal to play by the rules. It is a humorous exploration of Henry's life at school and his enduring rivalry with his peers.
