Looking back on more than fifty years in and around the game that he loves,Greavsie has confined his star-studded assembly to players and managers of his lifetime.He dips fondly back into the days of Stanley Matthews,Tom Finney and Len Shackleton and comes up to date with
in-depth analysis of modern masters like Thiery Henry, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney.
Along the way he nods in the direction of his former team-mates and good pals including Bobby Moore,Dave Mackay,Billy Wright and,of course,George Best.
Footballing gods of the calibre of Pele,di Stefano,Puskas and Maradonna naturally win a place in the personal Greaves Hall of Fame.
You may not agree with all his selections,but if you are a true football fan you can't help but agree that this is a book that makes you laugh and grips your attention as you take a look at some of FOOTBALL'S GREAT HEROES AND ENTERTAINERS.
