The European Cup: An Illustrated History offers a full chronological account of each year's competition, covering all the most exciting games, the fortunes of the British teams, and the finals... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book fills a void, as very little information is available on this subject, at least in the United States. MacWilliam goes through the tournament year by year, with a review of each Final. (He also gives special focus to the British teams, which I enjoyed, but some readers may not.) This work is decorated with pictures from the history of the competition, as well as profiles of individuals, from legends such as Alfredo di Stefano to lesser known players, like Jimmy Case. However, errors dot this work (the 1967 final was not at the Stadium of Light, Vladikavkaz is not in Chechnya), preventing it from receiving a five star rating. Still, it is a worthwhile source on a worthy topic.
