Hardback. Condizione: New. The Great Uncrowned: Football's Most Celebrated Losers is the story of football's ultimate bridesmaids, those clubs that were good enough to win the major prizes but, for various reasons, didn't. In an age when victory is all too often viewed as the be all and end all, this book celebrates the teams that were beaten by bad luck, limited resources or an outstanding set of players. From early 20th-century runners-up from Lancashire and Wales to flamboyant teams from Europe and South America, near-misses can be found anywhere in the world. Some have been forgotten, pushed aside by the elitist nature of modern football. Others have passed into history and are rarely revisited. As well as reviving the exploits of great players and impressive teams, The Great Uncrowned also provides context around the development and social position of each side and asks if football needs a structure that provides more winners and fewer losers. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. The Summer of Total Football: The 1974 World Cup captures the mood of a memorable 24 days in the early 1970s as the balance of footballing power shifted.Throughout history, the World Cup has often discovered 'people's champions' that do not become tournament winners, such as the Netherlands in 1974. Beaten by the host nation, West Germany, the Dutch captivated the crowds at WM74, spearheaded by their captain, Johan Cruyff. This was supposed to be Cruyff's World Cup and right up until the final, he demonstrated why. But West Germany, who were galvanised by their own talisman, Franz Beckenbauer, had other ideas. Initially burdened by being the home team, they improved as the tournament progressed and refused to be overawed by the Dutch. The indomitable spirit of West Germany, which characterised their style in the decades after 1974, came to the fore as they won their second World Cup.This was the World Cup of 'Total Football', a style of play that was progressive and versatile, and is revered to this day.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Rise of the North: The 1992 European Championship is the remarkable story of one of international footballs most unlikely triumphs: Denmarks astonishing victory after being drafted in as last-minute replacements for Yugoslavia. Set against a backdrop of geopolitical turmoil, rising tensions in the Balkans and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the tournament initially struggled to capture global attention. But it quickly became a fairy tale worthy of Hans Christian Andersen, as the Danes defied all expectations on their way to lifting the trophy. Their success came at a pivotal moment. The English Premier League was about to launch, the UEFA Champions League morphed out of the old European Cup, and players were gaining unprecedented control over their careers. As for the European Championship, 1992 was its last eight-team version. Football was at a tipping point, but the plucky Danes, who never expected to be in the competition hosted by neighbouring Sweden, created shock waves that still resonate. Rise of the North is the extraordinary story of Denmarks 1992 European Championship triumph. Drafted in as late replacements for Yugoslavia, the Danes stunned the world by trouncing three former champions in one of footballs most improbable success stories. A must-read for anyone who loves an underdog tale. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
