Studs! is without doubt the Bobby Moore of football books ? unbeatable. No, make that George Best ? it?s supremely entertaining as well. An essential purchase for any footie fan, young or old, the book is packed full of everything that made the game fun to watch back in the 60s, 70s and 80s ? though not always for the right reasons. With full colour photos showing off the nation's finest footballers in all their garish glory, and features including Worst Haircut, Most Ludicrous Hobby, Most Unconvincing ?Out on the Town?

Customer Reviews

Essential buy for football fans yearning for the good old days
A rib-tickling, richly nostalgic read for anyone in their forties. Essential toilet reading. It's basically a scrapbook of Shoot! from the seventies and early eighties. What wonderfully innocent times they were. The Q&As features on the likes of Alan Hansen, Sam Alardyce and other footballers still in the public eye are particularly amusing as are the 'at home with ...' features showing Kevin Keegan doing the hoovering and Cyrille Regis sampling his wife's cooking.

My only criticism is the size: the book should be A4 like the magazine hence one star docked.
