[Peter Fleming · Rating 5 out of 5]

I guess the great variety in the content of this quarterly means that different readers will like difference issues more than others. This issue was very heavily weighted towards articles on football during the 1930s and 40s in Italy and especially the impact that WWII had on the game. I found this fascinating and I am particularly interested in the work of Ernő Egri Erbstein with Torino and the aftermath of the Superga disaster. However, perhaps other readers would have preferred a little more variety.

For me this is still the best long form football periodical of its sort.
