THE FOOTBALL MAN: PEOPLE AND PASSIONS IN SOCCER
Book ID/图书代码： 12844013B66190
English Summary/英文概要： ’Football matters, as poetry does to some people and alcohol does to others...Football is inherent in the people...There is more eccentricity in deliberately disregarding it than in devoting a life to it. The way we play the game, organise it and reward it reflects the kind of community we are’ Written just two years after England’s ’66 triumph when the national game was at its zenith, Arthur Hopcraft’s The Football Man is repeatedly quoted as the best book ever written about the sport. This definitive, magisterial study of football and society is a snapshot of a defining era in sporting history; changes and decisions were made in the sixties that would create the game we know today. For many who are disenchanted with the modern game - the grip of businesses and corporations, the dominance of advertising, the extortionate ticket prices and inaccessible matches, the fickleness of teenage millionaires - The Football Man takes the reader back to the heart and soul of the national game when pitches were muddy and the players were footballers not ’brands’. This is a long awaited reissue of the classic football ’bible’.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 足球的重要就像诗歌对于诗人，酒对于另一些人。足球固定存在于某些人的生命中……比起用全部生命去热爱它，更多的是对它故意的忽视。我们踢球的方式，组织的形式以及奖励反映了我们的团体，这本书写在英国66年胜利之后的两年，那个时候是全国比赛的高峰，亚瑟的《足球人》反复被引述为关于体育的最好的书。这本足球和社会的权威性研究是体育历史的关键时期快照；60年代的改变和决定创建了今天我们所熟知的足球运动。对于很多对现代游戏不再抱有幻想的人——企业和机构的控制， 广告的主导地位，昂贵的门票价格和交通不便的比赛，年轻富翁的浮躁，《足球人》带领读者重回民族游戏的心脏和灵魂，球场是泥泞地，队员们是足球运动员而不是’品牌’。这是期待已久的经典足球的”圣经“。（LNL）
