A definitive photojournal of soccer culture in the modern era! Peter Robinson is considered one of the great soccer photographers of our time, and for over 30 years he has developed a reporting style that’s unique, informed, and questioning. For that reason, he has enjoyed unprecedented access to the game’s most legendary figures and events—even during private moments in the dressing room and at home. Robinson’s idiosyncratic perspective—and thrilling images of rawness and honesty—are showcased in eight chapters, each focusing on a distinctive element of the sport. Among the memorable pictures: a touching memorial to Colombian player Andrés Escobar, murdered after he accidentally scored a goal against his own team; the VIP area at the 1994 World Cup Final in Los Angeles; and tense Manchester United fans watching a crucial, final match.
