5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, 1 Jul 2004

By	Reginald Harper (Isle of Wight) - See all my reviews

A fascinating of overview of the history of football. Richly illustrated and an enjoyable text, all endorsed by the world governing body, FIFA. I particularly liked the chapter on national styles of play. England get some what of hard time, but in fairness, following our recent Euro 2004 exit, the author's comments are spot on. A great book.

By	Karl Matheson (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading 100 YEARS OF FOOTBALL and I would recommend the book to anyone wishing to learn more about the origins and history of the sport. The authors' fascinating text and glorious illustrations combine to make this one of the most complete histories of the game. Highly recommended

1.0 out of 5 stars The publisher should be ashamed
Weidenfeld and Nicolson is supposed to be a major publisher in the UK. How is it then that they could have produced this book so carelessly? Read more
