Football is a truly global passion and nothing encapsulates the spirit of the game better than grassroots football. Wherever there are T-shirts for goalposts and an old can for kicking, kids will play. The images portray a game which is a million miles away from Old Trafford or the Bernabau, a game uncorrupted by the sportswear marketing gurus or the tantrums of star players. The result is a brilliant visual celebration of the most popular sport on the planet. This book features fabulous images from around the world of football at grass roots level; and shows that wherever a group of people gather with a ball or a can and some jumpers, then football will take place. It is a beautifully produced hardback, and is an ideal gift book for football fans.
