5.0 out of 5 stars The beautiful game is all of its glory, June 5, 2002
By 
Pat McCurry (Wilton, NH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World Encyclopedia of Soccer (Hardcover)
Who created the game of 'football'? What club did Pele play for from the 50s to the 70s? Who captained the 1986 World Cup champions? You'll find all the answers and more in this book... I got this one for a present and I use it everytime I need some info. It is full of colorful pictures such as Bobby Moore hoisted on his teammates shoulders with the Cup after winning England's first and only. It gives you a decade by decade look at soccer, player profiles, a look at the glorious soccer stadiums, soccer riots and well noted dates in soccer history (like the USA defeating England in 1950). This is a great book to have and I love to test my English friend on the titbits (and she knows everything). I am also impressed how the writer does not favor anyone in the book. He states the strengths and weaknesses of each country respectively. It is a book every die hard fan should have.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for all lovers of the Beautiful Game!, January 5, 2009
By 
This review is from: World Encyclopedia of Soccer (Hardcover)
This review is being written because I turned to Amazon to find an updated version since the 2004 edition. Alas, no such luck. Tom MacDonald and his editorial team deserve highest accolades for producing such a terrific reference. Too bad this isn't an annual or bi-annual publication; it definitely should be. Golazo!
