Stanley Lover (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2005

Much more than a rules reference book, Soccer Rules Explained is an entertaining and enlightening in-depth appreciation of the world's most popular sport. Internationally recognized soccer authority Stanley Lover expertly covers each of the rules with analysis, historical notes, anecdotes, tips on play, and commentary, while stripping away the dry-as-dust legal language to reveal the energy and beauty of the game. Approximately one hundred photos and illustrations help illuminate all the rules. The result is an engaging, essential primer that can be enjoyed by newcomers and seasoned players alike, and is a must for anyone who wants to better understand the game of soccer.

Being a soccer lover but not an expert, I needed reliable and comprehensive rules and interpretation of the Beautiful Game. This was the answer. I highly recommend this book.
