Media Reviews
This publication...spares no effect to present our sport in all its glory. --Joseph S. Blatter, General Secretary, Federation Internationale de Football Association Planet Football. --Pete Davies, All Played Out, 1990 There is no mistake about it: the exercise is a passion nowadays and not merely a recreation...It is something else as well as a passion. It is a profession. -- The Nineteenth Century, 1892 The way some people talk about soccer, you'd think the result of one game was a matter of life and death. They don't understand; it is much more than that. --Bill Shankley, former manager, Liverpool Football Club
