From the establishment of official rules in 1863 through to its spread to the four corners of the world and the global phenomenon it is today, this richly illustrated volume charts the history of football through its greatest and defining moments. Expertly selected, 1001 of football's greatest moments are gloriously illustrated and beautifully retold by a collection of leading football writers. All of the great goals, games, players and famous moments are here, such as Carlos Alberto's 'Perfect Goal' in 1970, Maradona's 'Hand of God' and the 'Cruyff Turn', as are many surprising and lesser-known events from all across the world that have equally shaped and contributed to football's rich story. Uniquely devised to allow the reader to follow narrative topics within the 1001 entries, "Football Moments" is a thematic journey through the game's great goals, incidents, tragedies, controversies, personalities, politics and tactics, and is the ultimate celebration of the game.
