Recenzii
This book is a work of art about football's works of art, with the added bonus of brilliant slices of social history. Loved it.
A beautiful showcase of such a distinctive part of the game's culture, perfectly explained by the writer who knows so much about more of the game's cultures than anyone else. It is impossible not to get lost in the book as you take in some captivating images, made all the better by finding out from Andy exactly what it all represents.
Gorgeous to behold; packed with knowledge. Andy Brassell effortlessly weaves two wonderments, football and urban folk art. Unmissable for fans of either.
I absolutely love this book. Full of colour that jumps off the page! Where some of the artwork is iconic, others were so fun to learn about. But the one thing they all have in common is they're all visually beautiful, thought provoking, and they tell a wonderful story about how powerful football can be - and Andy's words are the perfect guide through them.
Brassell celebrates the variety and spectacle of this fan art, showing how eloquent supporters can be about their teams.
Superb . Brassell has struck just the right balance between telling the story and allowing the pictures to do their own talking.
Profound as much as it is poignant... The art combined with Brassell's words paints a unique picture.
This is a beautiful picture book bursting with colour and vivid images of murals from all around the world.What makes the book really stand out is that the accompanying text is thoughtful and considered and adds a depth and understanding to the images.
