SIGNED

A fascinating and important study into how British football failed to develop following the famous 6-3 and 7-1 drubbings by the "Magnificent Magyars" in 1953. A game they had given to the world had somehow moved on without them.

8vo. [v] +192pp. Frontispiece, 16 pages of photographs. Dust-wrapper, lightly rubbed. A very good copy. Signed to half title-page by Meisl with a long inscription "To Danny Blanchflower, who started a little revolution of his own, one of the most intelligent individualities in British soccer", dated February 1958.
