have immortalised their footballing idols in emulsion.
Written by Andy Brassell (Guardian, Football Ramble, TalkSPORT), this is the first book to celebrate these towering works of art.
Football murals are an often impressive, iconic and crucially dominant element of football culture, and this mid-sized illustrated book will showcase these epic and undeniably fascinating wonders.
Written and curated by respected football writer Andy Brassell, this groundbreaking book will feature more than 130 murals from around the world, capturing the scale, grandeur and wit of the popular art form.
Alongside the visual aspect, the book will explore why the murals are there – it’s often more than what a player does on the pitch (although that helps) – and through short essays and extended captions, Andy Brassell will share the players’ stories and explain why they have had such an impact.
Divided into five broad themes (Home, Away, Icons, Fans, Communities), the book will focus on the themes important to fans worldwide, no matter their clubs, their expectations, and whatever language they speak.
This stunning book offers a fresh, highly visual perspective on the global game.
