Billy Wright's Book Of Soccer No.4

Robert Stack Wolverhampton wolverhampton wanderers

A remarkable piece of football literature from one of England's most legendary figures, the 4th edition of Billy Wright's Book of Soccer stands as a testament to the golden age of English football. Published by Stanley Paul in 1961, this hardback edition carries particular significance given that it features contributions from some of the most influential players of the era.
The book's authority stems from its primary author, Billy Wright, who was the first footballer in the world to earn 100 international caps. As England's captain in three World Cups (1950, 1954, and 1958), Wright's insights into the beautiful game were unparalleled. His expertise and leadership made him the perfect curator for this comprehensive guide to soccer.
What sets this edition apart is its impressive roster of contributors, featuring some of the era's most prominent players:
Nat Lofthouse - Known as the 'Lion of Vienna,' and a one-club legend at Bolton Wanderers
Dave Mackay - A stalwart who would go on to be part of Tottenham's historic Double-winning side of 1960-61
Ray Wilson, Bryan Douglas, and other England internationals
A unique perspective from Jim Parks, showcasing the crossover between cricket and football
Published by Stanley Paul, a publishing house established in London in 1906, this edition has become increasingly valuable. Pre-1966 football books from Stanley Paul are particularly sought after by collectors in 2024, making this volume not just a historical document but also a valuable collector's item.
The book's strength lies in its comprehensive approach to the sport, combining tactical insights, personal experiences, and historical perspectives. The inclusion of Harold Hastings, the Wembley historian, adds depth to the historical context. The lavish illustration with action photographs from the season makes it both an educational resource and a visual time capsule of football in the early 1960s.
This fourth edition serves as a bridge between football's past and its evolution into the modern era. Published just five years before England's 1966 World Cup triumph, it captures a crucial period in English football's development, documented by those who were actively shaping the game.
For historians, collectors, and football enthusiasts, Billy Wright's Book of Soccer (4th Edition) remains an invaluable resource that combines expert analysis, historical documentation, and the authentic voices of football's golden age.
A treasure chest of football wisdom from England's first 100-cap hero and his all-star team. - Soccerbooks 2024
