"Meticulously charts the development of the European game, examining how the Continental clubs caught up with the top British clubs and eventually overtook them" Evening Standard "To tell the tale of European football on the pitch - the goals and the games - is a challenge; to tell the tale of events off the pitch - the deals and the dollars - is complex; to interweave the two is something else entirely and to manage it within 300-odd pages is a cup-winning triumph in its own right" World Soccer "A history of European football treated thematically as well as chronologically.. informative reading" -- Myles Palmer, author of The Professor: Arsene Wenger at Arsenal "Informative and enlightening" Programme Monthly
