Marshall Cavendish Book of Football

 

Published as a partwork over 75 weeks between 1971 and 1973, the Marshall Cavendish Book of Football was one of the iconic publications of the era. With full colour throughout, it grew into an outstanding 1500 page reference, with features on clubs, great matches and events, famous players, tactical and coaching tips, and also a detailed season-by-season statistical section. The format for their articles and features was replicated in many football encyclopaedia during the late 1970's and 1980's.
