  Examining Brazil's unique style of football, based on improvisation and speed, this book traces the link between Britain and Brazil and the influence of Charles Miller and Harry Welfare early this century. Besides the presence in Brazil of British players, coaches and referees, there were valuable visits to the country by a number of clubs, including Exeter City, Motherwell and Arsenal.
