Customer Reviews
Quality
In-depth, educational, and interesting. Love the lineup sheets of the super old and historic original lineups, and the quotes from those who saw and witnessed it live. Tactics aren’t everything in football, but it’s definitely something that needs to be understood and valued and this book does just that!
Chapter don’t align with page numbers
Content is great but the chapters in the ebook do not line up correctly with the pages which is extremely frustrating. Can this be fixed?
