Customer Reviews

A great book for Football lovers
This book is a great travel guide for football fans.It does what is says on the tin.
Informative, well written and great pictures.
Defo Recommend and would make a top present.

Not a Passport of Information
I must admit I was disappointed with this book. I recently went to Madrid and the information I could have found in any guide book,apart possibily from how to get to the stadium. Usually this could be found on the club's web site
No mention of hotels or bars near the stadiums, in fact only two bars were recommended for the whole of Madrid.
The Rough Guide to European Football is much more informitive but sadly out of print and out of date (2000 - 2001)
Sorry but I would not recommend this book for the traveling football fan.
