The book is written by two experts in the field : Grant MacDougall, the specialist at Christies and Robert McElroy, a football writer with 30 years experience as a collector, and is based upon the catalogue record and photographic archive of Christies, which has been holding annual sales of football memorabilia since 1989 and continues to champion this rapidly expanding area of interest.

Illustrated with 300 colour and black-and-white photographs.
