This lavishly illustrated book charts all the key events in the 140-year history of English football, from the time when players wore knickerbockers, balls had laces and goals lacked crossbars, to the game we know today.

 Statistics and profiles, controversies and shocks, developments in tactics and rules. But mostly, The Illustrated History of English Football is about the great teams and the great players of the country that gave football to the world.

 More than 500 spectacular classic, rare and unseen photographs from the archives of the Daily Mail
