About this copy

Alan Ball was one of the most dynamic young footballers of his era, and this, his first Soccer Annual, is a lively window onto the world game of the late 1960s. Gathered within are contributions from a glittering roll-call of stars, including Gordon Banks, George Best, Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and Joe Mercer, making it a must for any football enthusiast's shelf. A handsome hardback, complete with its original dust jacket, featuring a striking action cover of Alan Ball in his Everton blue.

Condition

Book
Good - a sound, firm copy with clean pages and a secure binding. Light spotting to the endpapers and a pencilled stock number on a blank leaf.
Dust jacket
Fair - present and original, with some edge wear, a crease to the upper front and light scuffing to the rear panel. The rear flap band is intact.

A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
