No ownership marks. 178 pages clean and tight. Since 1958, when Derek Dougan first played international football, there have been many changes in the sport, both in Britain and throughout the world. During that time, too, many famous games have been played. In this book, Derek Dougan and Patrick Murphy have chosen the 25 matches between 1958 and 1983 that, in their view, stand out as having had an impact way beyond the result on that day. Some of these matches ushered in a new school of tactical thinking, others reasserted traditional values. Among the historic games considered are the afternoon when the brilliant Brazilians announced their talents to the European stage in 1958, the day in 1966 when Sir Alf Ramsey fulfilled his promise to win the World Cup for England, the 1973 Cup Final when lowly Sunderland shocked the mighty Leeds, and the time, the same year, when a Polish goalkeeper single-handedly eliminated England from the World Cup Finals. Many players and managers from soccer's hall of fame are assessed and recalled - Pele, George Best, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Kevin Keegan, Bill Shankly, Danny Blanchflower, Johann Cruyff, Eusebio, Brian Clough, Ron Greenwood, Denis Law, and many others. The verdicts on them are fascinating, pungent and, in certain cases, critical. At the same time, Derek Dougan and Patrick Murphy analyse the development of the modern game, pinpoint the decisive moments in the last two decades when British soccer has taken the wrong turnings, and formulate the means to restore the game to a public affection it has lacked since the World Cup euphoria of 1966. Matches of the Day is compulsive and essential reading, not only for those with a fondness for nostalgia and anecdote, but for the sports fan concerned about the welfare of what is still Britain's national game.
