t took the authors years of painstaking and passionate research, long months of data entry by Soccerdata, and feverish days of checking and verifying to believe they had produced a unique and fascinating book.
It tells the story of the very first players who crossed borders (only footballing ones, for now) with makeshift means and almost no communication, but who, for their love of this sport, ventured into foreign cities that no one had ever told them about, stopping to play on unlikely and often unplayable football pitches, but still completing a match, which, along with others of the same kind, marked the beginning of the most interesting challenges in the world: the international ones!
The subject matter is too compelling, the plot too original to pass up the opportunity: study and research on forgotten and unknown teams (crests, uniforms, playing fields, name changes); biographical data of protagonists who lived in the second half of the 19th century. It's impossible not to immerse yourself in this extraordinary reality, with the aim of bringing to all true fans of the history of this wonderful sport the facts, numbers, and colors of a football that only in our imagination was black and white, but which, thanks to this volume, becomes brilliantly colorful!
