A very insightful biography of the great founder of modern soccer. An all-round sportsman, in addition to his prowess on the soccer field (celebrating with a hand stand after winning the F.A. cup), a philanthropist and avid supporter of social change in the Victorian era. At the same time observing immense humility - gave away most of his wealth and, can you believe it?, lost his F.A. cup winning medals - he considered them of no value (can't imagine that now!!).

I would highly recommend.
