The Wow Factor (Second Edition) is a unique book that details the early history of soccer. Most of the contents are based on original research, therefore the information cannot be found elsewhere and many new facts are revealed. The book is published in two sections - the first provides extensive biographies of the gentlemen who started the sport of soccer in Victorian Britain. These show that they were connected to every aspect of history as well as having a passion for soccer. Their lives and family connections are explored in detail. The second edition replaces the first (that was sold out) and includes extensive new research as well as photographs of the founders and early amateur players. The later section of the book covers the early grounds and again has been re-worked with a number of informative maps. The book includes the most detailed biography of ground designer Archibald Leitch. This edition has been completely re-edited with extensive new information and 120 photographs and maps. One enthralled reader of the first edition stated 'there simply is nothing like it.' The new book goes way beyond this and is set to become a classic on early football history and the founders of the game. It also includes an improved appendix with new information and a stunning 30 page historical index. You cannot fail to be amazed by The Wow Factor, which takes you to a world long gone and the roots of soccer.
