Football Legends: The top 100 stars of the modern game

Product Information

My sometime colleagues from Nutmeg magazine have produced a beautiful, evocative, gritty love-letter to the Scottish game. Daniel’s poetic descriptions and Alan’s alluring photographs capture the attraction of football at all levels, but the book is especially affecting when they visit grounds where the players voices can be heard over the fans on the terracing.

Often lighthearted, occasionally serious, constantly passionate and honest; this is an insight into the rollercoaster of emotions experienced during a season like no other.

Arsenal are my release, my escape from the real world which, for ninety minutes, doesn’t exist. How long have we been saying how football is so far removed from the real world? Well, it turns out that has finally come in useful!” Supporters can easily become obsessed by tactics and formations. Whether the “diamond” trumps the “ false nine” or whether 4-3-3 is just 4-5-1 with lazier forwards? And for those who (pre-Covid) lived for those never-ending pub arguments with no hope of resolution, this book is their bible. Although it stops short of explaining the theory of the ‘67th-minute’ goal. That’s explored in detail in There’s Only One Danny Garvey. This is the fifth edition of our unique, ground-breaking book – the first and only book of its kind. Already recognized as the authority on the women’s game, ‘The Women’s Football Yearbook’ is the definitive annual – offering unrivalled information, photos, facts and figures on all England’s leading teams.The football book was once a Christmas staple. No visit from Santa to the Ross household was complete without the Shoot! Annual or the Topical Times Football Book. These photo-based publications, along with the obligatory My Story by a star player, established a lowly perception of football books as either pictorial and aimed at children, or as cliche-ridden as a post-match interview with an impatient manager. But football is a metaphor for life, isn’t it? Surely the perfect vehicle to convey the frailties of human existence? The team’s inspirational captain, Tony Adams, was sent to prison, a more rigorous fixture schedule, a mid-match brawl that led to the only points deduction to have ever been given to a club – before or since – are just some of the crazy circumstances that the Arsenal team of 90/91 had to overcome. Tottenham’s Three Lions is the most comprehensive and thorough retrospective look at the club’s proud record of producing top quality players for the England national team. AS WE APPROACH ASTON VILLA’S 150-YEAR LANDMARK, A STUNNING NEW BOOK PROJECT HAS BEEN COMMISSIONED TO CELEBRATE THE CLUB’S PROUD HISTORY.
