Fifty years on from the Munich air crash, whose victims included Guardian football reporter Donny Davies, this anthology is a unique collection of the newspaper's coverage of the game at every level.
Relive the past half-century's most dramatic matches through the eyes of the newspaper's leading sportswriters, including David Lacey, Frank Keating, Richard Williams, Matthew Engel and Kevin McCarra. The Guardian Book of Football comprises original reports and photographs from classic matches including the 1996 World Cup final, Maradona's 'hand of God' and every European Cup final victory by a British team.
'...As England manager going into two World Cups, I knew I held a massive responsibility - the newspapers made that clear. Don't believe people in football when they say they don't read the papers: they did then and they do now. I looked at them all including The Guardian, whose chief football correspondent David Lacey was a must-read. Frank Keating was another favourite. So I'm delighted that some of my finest moments are included in this book - and I still maintain that if we'd had Bryan Robson fit for 1986 and 1990, I could have trumped Sir Alf Ramsey and won two World Cups?' - from the Foreword by Sir Bobby Robson
