Football/ 1001 Photos

Football... is it a game, sport, leisure or work? Philosophers have often debated that question, and have unhesitatingly passed the ball to one another. Football is first and foremost a passion, a story which feeds our collective memory day after day, match after match. Yes, football reminds us of our childhood with the glittering names of stars, players, stadiums and teams which evoke memories, eras, sometimes acts of heroism. Apart from the limitations which apply to anyone, football knows no frontiers, no motherland. Football is played everywhere i - it is universal. That is also its charm and magic. With 1001 photographs of football idols, this book captures the finest and most beatiful aspects of a sport which has become one of the world's last great religions.
