Book Synopsis
The Fifty tells the story of football through its most influential players, from Victorian gent Charles Alcock to world champion Megan Rapinoe via Pele, Charlton, Maradona and Jimmy Hill. It's not about the stats, tactics or managers - it's about players, from war heroes and match-fixers to superstars and an African president.
