Mark. Football: A History of the Gridiron Game (Watts History of Sports). New York, NY: Franklin Watts, 1998. If you want theoretical insights and if you want to view the game from a non-conventional way this book by Simon Kuper (also the awarded author of Football Against the Enemy and The Football Men) and Stefan Szymanski is for you. In some aspects linked to Anderson and Sally in The Numbers Games, the authors of Soccernomics investigate the sport from new angles and come up with some surprising and astonishing results. The last part of the subtitle “Why the U.S., Japan, Australia-and Even Iraq-Are Destined to Become the Kings of the World’s Most Popular Sport” is, however a sell tactic since the statement is only covered by a short and speculative chapter. Only two players have caught, rushed, and thrown a touchdown against the same team in the same game: Walter Payton in 1979 and David Patton in 2001. [16] From Jenkins: This is a lost masterpiece. The book is more than a biography. It is also a chronicle of the emergence of football as mass spectacle early in the 20th century, and the short but brilliantly distinctive role played by American Indians in shaping our athletic culture.
While football originally was popular in Midwestern industrial towns, its growth in popularity around the U.S. is typically traced to the 1958 NFL Championship game, which has been called the “Greatest Game Ever Played.” [13] A quite self-explanatory title says a lot of that this one is about. A chance to deepen your knowledge of the biggest clubs. Pompey chairman Michael Eisner has contributed a foreword and the book features dozens of rarely-seen photos, some of which have been colourised by Emptage and Andy Imrie to bring the monochrome eras to life.

[10] My new novel There’s Only One Danny Garvey is set in 1996. It is a book set in a footballing context, but it isn’t a book about football. Just as The Damned United (listed below) is a book that examines, through a stream-of-consciousness narrative, the obsessions of a man being played out in an often-illogical, unforgiving, alpha male-dominated environment. There’s a lot more than a simple game at stake. The Wilson Sporting Goods Company in Ada, Ohio, has been the official football supplier for the NFL since 1941. They make more than 2 million footballs of all sorts every year. [12] Said about it: “The book is full of intriguing sidelights on Brazilian popular culture, its hedonism, piety and wondrous absurdity.” – The Guardian
Probably no other book about football has been more widely mention in popular culture than this one. A motion picture based on the book became a hit a few years later.

[6] Said about it: "Must surely go down as one of the most revelatory sports books of the year, as well as one of the best." – The Scotsman Pablo S. “ How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke.” SI Vault. March 23, 2009. Accessed: November 29, 2013.As football seasons—in leagues from Pop Warner to the pros—get underway, Washington Post sports columnist Sally Jenkins provides a list of five must-reads for better understanding the history of the game.

Duncan Hamilton work is not the only biography on the Wales legend, but perhaps the best. Few players lived as a fabulous life beside the pitch as George Best and no wonder that biography’s about him are sought after.
