Review
4 out of 5 stars - 'While many of the usual suspects make Hartrick's insightful rundown of those who made an indelible footprint on the game, it's the less celebrated club sides that provide most intrigue.' Four Four Two Magazine 'You can open this book anywhere, and learn something, and that's intensely joymaking. At heart, 50 Teams is an eclectic, chronological amble in extremely well-informed and pleasantly eloquent company, through the history of football, beginning with its humble amateur origins and concluding with the relentless professionalism of today.' SBNation.com 'This is a hefty beast and represents a couple of years of Hartrick's life and you can feel his heart and soul on each page. Buy it and I guarantee you will be still reciting facts to your friends and family in six months time.' theballisround.co.uk
