Akin to a book version of Top Trumps cards, Football Legends presents the top 100 stars in modern football. The book offers facts and stats of players operating in Europe's top leagues, with records presented concisely and with the use of infographics. The chapters are divided into player positions, namely defenders, midfielders, strikers, goalkeepers, plus there's a final chapter that profiles today's top 10 coaches. The profile-per-page is visually arresting, packed with incisive data, which the reader can use to compare and contrast the achievements and technical merits of the current icons of the beautiful game.
