The Daily Telegraph football years - Norman Barrett

Set out in a year–by–year chronological format and written from the British perspective, this book includes articles on all the notable soccer stories from 1863 to the end of the 2010-11 season, with newspaper-style reports on the football stories that hit the headlines, plus special features summarizing the rest of the football news and memorable football quotes. It includes end of season statistics up to 2010-11; the champions and leading scorers of all the divisions of the Football League and Scottish League; the FA Cup, League Cup, Scottish Cup, and Scottish League Cup winners; and the record of British clubs in European competitions; as well as special features on each of the Fifa World Cups and selected European Championships. Special feature spreads are allocated to each major tournament and the year–by–year reportage is interspersed with essays on leading characters and milestone events. This is one of the most comprehensive, chronological histories of the game ever published.
