Requirements: PDF Reader, 137 Mb
Overview: -In the mid-19th century, a few English ‘football’ clubs came up with a novel idea: playing the game purely with the feet! Association Football formally made its bow in a London tavern in 1863. The early champions of the new game were men from the great public schools and universities, but within a generation all that had changed. The inaugral FA cup took place in 1872 and the Football League was founded in 1888; by then football had become the people’s game.
-Other countries eventually caught up, and with the glorious exception of 1966, England hasn’t ruled the football world as it did in those heady days. And yet in places as far as afield as Africa, China and Scandinavia, English football is followed as passionately as it is at home.
-Lavishly illustrated, A Photographic History of English Football, charts all the key events in the 140-year history of the game, from the time when players wore knickerbockers, balls had laces and goals lacked crossbars, to the game we know today. There are statistics and profiles, controversies and shocks, developments in tactics and rules. But mostly it is about the great teams and great and great players of the country that gave the world to football.
