A classic piece of soccer literature, "The Boys' Book of Soccer" from 1956, captures the understanding and play of the game in the mid-20th century. This book serves as both a historical artefact and a guide to the sport, offering insights into the techniques, rules, and culture of soccer during that era. The book captures the essence of soccer in the 1950s. Consider the differences in style, rules, and global influence compared to today's game. This includes sections on basic skills, strategies, and profiles of famous players of the time. Assess the organisation of these sections and their efficacy in delivering the intended information to younger readers. Those who grew up with this book or similar ones may feel nostalgic.
The 1956 edition is in very good condition; the dustjacket is complete and not price clipped (10/6d). Colour and black-and-white photographs of the football stars of the time includes articles, stories and puzzles with information about every aspect of the game. Photo feature of Newcastle United winning FA Cup.
