The Story of the World Cup
London, Faber & Faber, 2014
Scheda | Anteprima
The dramatic and controversial history of the world's leading tournament. Brian Glanville's classic account is a celebration of the great players and matches from Uruguay in 1930 to South Africa in 2010 - and a bold attack on all those who have mismanaged the 'beautiful game'.
The only comprehensive history of the world's top soccer tournament. As well as vivid accounts of individual games (from the World Cup's beginnings in 1930 to the latest competition), there are many behind-the-scenes stories and character sketches of the great managers and players who made their mark on the international scene through success in the World Cup. Team listing and statistical summaries complete a work of reference that is also a fascinating read.
