Review:

The Match of My Life series provides a captivating collection of first-person accounts by former footballers of their careers and in particular the most memorable match they played in. There are archive pictures and statistics on each player before the players entertain us with anecdotes and memories of classic matches. The Wolverhampton Wanderers edition, edited by Simon Lowe, includes recollections from twelve club legends including Steve Bull, Bert Williams, Roy Swinbourne, John Richards and Derek Parkin. With a foreword by Sir Jack Hayward this is another worthwhile read from the Know The Score stable. --Nathan Davies, The Association of Football Statisticians.
