Overview

Every legend starts somewhere. Long before Pelé, Maradona, Johan Cruyff and Eusébio became names every soccer fan knows, they were kids with a ball, playing in the street, in small clubs and on dusty fields. This book follows twelve legends from the places where it all began to the World Cup nights that made history.

The starting twelve: Lev Yashin, Carlos Alberto, Franz Beckenbauer, Bobby Charlton, Johan Cruyff, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Diego Maradona, Ferenc Puskás, Eusébio, Pelé, Hristo Stoichkov and Garrincha.

Like a real match, the book is split into a First Half, Halftime, a Second Half and Extra Time, and it ends with a Penalty Shootout quiz.

  • Before the Stadium Lights: their childhood, and the Doubters' File
  • The turning point and the breakthrough, plus What Changed afterward
  • A Pitch Map of their famous move
  • Your Turn: a move to borrow, a safe drill with an Extra 10 Minutes level-up, a Ref's Call myth and fact, and a Think Like a Pro question
  • A collectible Player Card and a Passport showing how to say "goal" in their language
  • What It Took: the habits behind their success, The Skill Behind the Highlight and Three Details Worth Sharing

After the final whistle come a Pick Your Dream Team page, a Squad Map, a soccer glossary and a My Season tracker. All facts are checked against published sources.
