Football Days: Classic Football Photographs

by Peter Robinson, Will Hoon

Football Days presents a unique view of football that is both impressive and intimate, bringing together all the strands of the game, from the brutal functionalism of 1970s English football stadiums to the TV-driven festival of a 21st century World Cup finals.

Peter Robinson - considered to be one of the world's greatest sports photographers, and quite possibly the world's greatest football photographer - has captured through his lens some of the game's foremost players and football's highs and lows.

This is a beautiful book of football (soccer) photographs taken by Peter Robinson. The size makes it a "coffee table" book. The period of time is from the late 60's up to and including the 2002 World Cup in Japan. Most of the focus is on English Football but there are a lot of non-English photos. Will Hoon provides an excellent introduction for each of the chapters and there is a nice Foreward by Michael Palin. It is book that I will always go back to look at as many of the photos are so memorable.
