  A stunning iconic photographic collection where evocative black and white photographs from the past are placed side by side with the present in vivid colour, this nostalgic visual journey joyously contrasts related images from the past with those from the modern era. This includes Arsenal's open-top bus ride through Islington in 1930 shown opposite the Gunners' triumphal double-winning 21st century parade; or the 1950s Brylcreem Boy pin-up, Dennis Compton, juxtaposed with David Beckham. Football Yesterday and Today 's unique concept allows the modern fan to see just how much things have moved on over the years but also how football remains the great game it always was.
