Luis Suarez The Vampire Is A New Character In Children's Book by swanky132(m): 10:41am On Aug 07, 2015 |
Luis Suarez may be a star on the pitch, but the
Barcelona striker has now become one in a
children's book too - albeit not for his football skills.
British author Peter Barron has used the Uruguayan
as inspiration for a character - a vampire no less -
in his new children's tale Daydreaming Daisy
McCloud because of the player's history of biting
opponents.
Speaking about his decision to base the football-
playing vampire called Luis after the former
Liverpool forward, Peter said: "When I was writing
the book Luis Suarez had been in trouble again for
biting another opponent.
"So when I needed a striker to complete my
monstrous line-up he seemed to fit the bill.
"I just hope he sees the funny side of it and the idea
doesn’t come back to bite me."
Suarez first bit an opponent while playing for Dutch
giants Ajax in 2010 after taking a mouthful of PSV
Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal, which earned
the striker a seven-match ban.
After then moving to Liverpool, Suarez found
himself in trouble again when he bit the arm of
Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in 2013 before
biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup last
year. Despite apologising for the incidents, Suarez has
clearly left a lasting impression on Peter, with the
author including the Barcelona man in his new book,
which forms part of his Monstrous Morals series
aimed at scaring primary school children out of their
bad habits.
