History of World Football IV: The Complete Globalization of Football (1984–2000)

From total football to globalization!

This fourth volume examines the period between 1984 and 2000, when football was fully globalised. The book analyses modernisation efforts such as the transformation of the European Cup into the Champions League. Separate chapters deal with the most serious stadium disasters (Heysel, Bradford, Hillsborough), which triggered revolutionary safety measures. You can learn about the shocking story of the Escobar drama and the fundamental impact of the Bosman rule on transfers and club wealth. The publication contains full-colour team photos of 176 teams (clubs and national teams) from 65 countries.
