The Undisputed Champions of Europe celebrates the iconic teams, managers and players who scaled European club football's greatest mountain. A tournament that was played out in a more rarefied air than its siblings - the European Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup - the European Cup owned an unmatched sense of occasion.
The definitive story of the UEFA Cup's glory years when the tournament made legendary names of the likes of Borussia Monchengladbach and IFK Goteborg, and provided Ipswich Town with arguably their finest moment. The book includes interviews with players, journalists and supporters who lived and loved the competition.
In the Heat of the Midday Sun is a homage to arguably the last truly iconic World Cup. Hosted with only three years' notice, and despite a devastating earthquake bringing Mexico City to its knees eight months before kick-off, Mexico '86 gave the watching world an unforgettable tournament, spearheaded by a certain Diego Armando Maradona.
Euro 88: The Football Purists’ European Championship delves into the last major international tournament on European soil before Italia 90 – a tournament of rancour and drama blessed by the presence of Gullit, Van Basten, Belanov, Protasov, Vialli, Klinsmann, Butragueño, Elkjær, Whelan and Robson. It was a tournament that had it all.
