From the Publisher:
Brian Glanville has been writing football obituaries exclusively for the "Guardian" since 1996 and is known to be the best in the business. This winning collection of 100 pieces includes eulogies to George Armstrong, Stan Cullis, David Rocastle, Waldir Pereira, Brian Clough, Emlyn Hughes, Bobby Johnston and George Best as it poignantly evokes an almost forgotten era before 'celebrity football'.
