Britain has produced a wealth of great soccer players that have won European and global trophies. In association with the National Football Museum, a panel of soccer legends, including Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Geoff Hurst, have selected the players for the official Football Association Hall Of Fame at the National Football Museum. This official volume hightlights the museum's work and profiles each player, detailing their career achievements, clubs, key matches, and a wealth of statistics to provide the complete picture for all fans. This is a fascinating retrospective on the beautiful and much loved game.
