This is the story of Argentinas search for an heir to the great Diego Maradona, of all the highly touted players who have come and gone, and their struggles with the pressure of living up to the legend of the Argentine number 10 shirt. It was not until the emergence of Lionel Messi that the country found a worthy successor."Wordsmith David Michael Nolan delves deep into his own research and personal knowledge base to provide many answers in his new book… So, who is the New Maradona?.. After reading Big Boots to Fill, you may find yourself being able to take a more informed view, based on the arguments presented by the able author."
-- Mark Watkins * Dare Radio *"Big Boots to Fill by David Nolan is a must-read for football fans seeking to relish the memories of Argentina's greatest players. With its ability to evoke nostalgia, celebrate the artistry of the game, and provide insight into the complexities of player reception, this book is a true gem."
* The Football Library *"Big Boots To Fill is probably at its most interesting when Maradona is the subject and his back story is fascinating, but several of the other players featured also have stories worth telling, which makes this a book well worth reading. Even as a keen fan of football over the last 40 years or so, there are some here that I'd never heard of, but that doesn't make their own stories any less interesting... An intriguing look into the lives of so many young hopefuls and a salutary tale of how many of them fail to live up to the huge expectations on their shoulders."
