"Men in Blasers presents."
"From the hosts of the popular NBC Sports show Men in Blazers and one of the biggest soccer podcasts in the world, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies will profile the greatest male and female soccer players of all time. With the same signature humor as they brought to their New York Times Bestseller Encyclopedia Blazertannica, Bennett and Davis will feature a mini biography, fun facts and an illustrated or photographic portrait of both new and legendary soccer players, from Pelé, Maradona, and Messi to Mia Hamm, Marta, and Megan Rapinoe. In their one-of-a-kind laugh out loud style and schtick, the guys will tell the stories of triumph, skill, and tenacity, experienced by household names like David Beckham and Alex Morgan, along with lesser-known icons such as Garrincha, the Brazilian star of the 1960's who was born with one leg six inches shorter than the other and Briana Scurry, who trail-blazed a path for young, black, soccer-playing women. Collectively, these stories will create a comprehensive history of soccer-its evolution and growth-as told by the lives of the legends of the game and the way their play transformed the world of soccer itself"-- Provided by publisher.
