Soccer History Articles Wanted
I am currently taking a course in e-book development and have come to the point where I need to develop my first practice project. By way of learning and helping others promote their soccer history writing I have decided it might be nice to develop a small compilation of soccer history articles.
In short:
1. I'm looking for 7-10 articles, soccer history related, of up to 1000 words - preferably pieces that have already been written
2. Each article will be accompanied by the author's by-line including link to web site of choice.
3. I will be offering the completed e-book free on Amazon
At the moment I am judging interest from writers so please do not send anything. If this sounds like something you would like to be involved in then please leave an indication in the comments below or e-mail me at pjrsoch@gmail.com
Any questions also very happily accepted. Look forward to hearing from people.

The Beautiful History Site - Club Crests, Colours & Nicknames
The Beautiful History is a site which does not seem to be have been updated since 2010 but which nevertheless provides a wealth of information about the history of club crests, colours and nicknames. The young Dutch compiler, Han, has certainly researched his subject in great depth.
