While it's nice getting a little snapshot of 58 variously brilliant footballers from the game's history, for me it left me just wanting more about each one. I know that's not the point of a book like this, but that was my impression. Still enjoyed it.

A book that really highlights the artistry of the game. How so much more than just sheer ability encapsulates what makes a footballer special to so many.
