Football Biographies For Kids by Paragon Publishing Pdf

What does it take to be the best? This book has selected the 25 greatest footballers of all time. It will take you on a step-by-step guide through their illustrious careers, starting with their childhood, and then taking you through their playing days, making sure to highlight all of the countless records that they set along the way. Being called one of the GOAT's (Greatest of All Time) is a very big claim to make and there are many factors that must be ticked for a player to even be considered in this bracket. It is not just about the number of goals scored over their careers, or the number of trophies won, but it is also about their ability to be a great leader in the team, to step up in the big games, and to leave a legacy upon the great sport of football. All of these factors have been carefully analysed to select 25 players who have shone above the rest, ranging from players of the 1950's, to players who are still playing today. Learning about the best of the best is crucial to becoming a better footballer yourself. Who knows, maybe in the future you will be replacing one of these footballers as a legend yourself.

Cristiano and Leo by Jimmy Burns Pdf

"Ask any football fan who's better, Ronaldo or Messi and they'll have an opinion. Football is a team game. It's virtually unheard of to have the sort of focused, one on one rivalries that dominate individual sports. But for the best part of the last decade football has seen a personal rivalry unlike any seen before. Cristiano and Leo. This is their definitive story, from children kicking a ball halfway around the world from each other to their era-defining rivalry. One the preening adonis, a precision physical machine who blows teams away with his pace and power. The other a shuffling genius, able to do things with a football that seem other-worldly. Their differences seem to tap into something fundamental about football and indeed life. Between them they have scored over a thousand goals, won the Ballon d'Or nine times and redefined modern football. For the past eight seasons they have shared the accolade of best footballer in the world and arguments rage over which one deserves the title of greatest player of all time."--Publisher's description.

The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw by Paolo Hewitt,Paul McGuigan Pdf

Robin Friday was an exceptional footballer who should have played for England. He never did. Robin Friday was a brilliant player who could have played in the top flight. He never did. Why? Because Robin Friday was a man who would not bow down to anyone, who refused to take life seriously and who lived every moment as if it were his last. For anyone lucky enough to have seen him play, Robin Friday was up there with the greats. Take it from one who knows: 'There is no doubt in my mind that if someone had taken a chance on him he would have set the top division alight,' says the legendary Stan Bowles. 'He could have gone right to the top, but he just went off the rails a bit.' Loved and admired by everyone who saw him, Friday also had a dark side: troubled, strong-minded, reckless, he would end up destroying himself. Tragically, after years of alcohol and drug abuse, he died at the age of 38 without ever having fulfilled his potential. The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw provides the first full appreciation of a man too long forgotten by the world of football, and, along with a forthcoming film based on Friday's life, with a screenplay by co-author Paolo Hewitt, this book will surely give him the cult status he deserves.
