Product Description

Review
Praise for White Storm: 'A well-written and researched history . . . few other "outsiders" can claim to have such in-depth knowledge of the Spanish game' - FourFourTwo ' . . . offers a useful insight into the Madridista mindset' - The Times ' . . . a quality production befitting a quality club' - All Sport & Leisure Monthly.

Product Description
Within the trophy room at the Bernabeu, the spoils of a century's achievements provide indisputable evidence of football's conquistadores rubbing the world's noses in the dirt. They include twenty-nine league titles, nine European Cups, seventeen Spanish Cups, two UEFA Cups and three World Club Championship titles. The story of Real Madrid is, however, much more than the mere sum of its achievements. The club has always attracted the biggest names in the game - the type of player more recently referred to by Los Merengues as 'galactico'. And for every Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo or Beckham, there is a legend from the past. White Storm charts the history of the club from its foundations to the golden period of Di Stefano and Puskas, through the 'hippy years' to the modern embodiment of Madridismo - Raul. It ends with an analysis of the Beckham impact, the disintegration of the Florentino Perez regime and a look at what the future might hold for the world's most famous club.

5.0 out of 5 stars Went down a storm, 17 Mar 2003
A book written by a self confessed fan but he attempts to write it from a neutral perspective. Phil Ball not only charts the history of this mighty club but also the history of 20th century Spain and the club's position within society. Ball also gives a lot of space to other clubs in the history of Spanish football as a comparison to why Real Madrid are considered the best club. A fantastic book for football fans with great stories about great games and great players. Also of interest to readers who are not such great lovers of the club or game.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC, 7 Jan 2003
By Richard (Sutton, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is definitely one of the best football books i have read, and there are a few! Ball provides a superb outline of all the cultural, social and political background of Madrid but combines this with wonderful descriptions of famous games (such as the 7-3 European Cup Final win over Frankfurt) and players (most notably Alfredo Di Stefano and Raul.) The balance is perfect and every story leaves you wanting to know even more about the worlds greatest club, love them or hate them, it is a most wonderfull insight into their hundred years.
