The beautiful book
Did you know that a full 9 years before the Munich disaster, many players from Torino F.C. in Italy perished in the Superga air crash? Some of you might be aware that long before Korea produced an Asian footballing hero in Ji Sung Park, there was Paulino Alcantara Riestra from The Phillipines who scored 356 goals in 357 matches for Barca. And if you knew that the whole world should be grateful to 4 businessmen called James Taylor, J.H. Davies, J. Brown and W. Deakin for keeping a club called Newton Heath afloat and renaming it Manchester United, then you have my complete respect.
Don't be disheartened if you didn't know any of this. You're not the proud owner of 1001 Football Moments, are you? Glossy pages, awesome illustrations and 617 pages of tribute to the beautiful game.
Happy new year, little ones.
