The Rough Guide to Cult Football

A guide to the sport that one American sports journalist described as "22 guys standing around while one guy tap dances on the ball", this book takes a look at the legends of the sport, from George Best to Romario. There is also a nostalgic look at the finest games ever played, as remembered by fans, managers and players and a round up of the clubs that have shaped the game. The guide also examines the culture that has grown up around the sport - the songs, the films, the comics and the memorabilia. There is also a section covering the finest football anecdotes and stories.
