Overview
The Classic Football Heroes Legend Series brings together ten unmissable biographies from Matt and Tom Oldfield, celebrating some of the greatest footballers to ever grace the pitch. From Brazilian icon Ronaldo to Argentine maestro Maradona, Portuguese great Figo, England captain Beckham, German poacher Klinsmann, French genius Zidane, Scouse legend Rooney, Manchester United hero Giggs, Liverpool captain Gerrard and defensive rock Carragher, this collection is packed with drama, triumph and inspiration for any young football fan.

About the Books
Each book in this ten-strong collection tells the true, fast-paced life story of a footballing icon, written in an accessible, narrative style rather than as a dry reference guide. Young readers follow Ronaldo's rollercoaster journey from illness at the 1998 World Cup final to redemption four years later, and relive Maradona's mesmerising dribbles and his infamous 1986 World Cup heroics against England. Figo's story explores the courage it took to switch allegiance from Barcelona to Real Madrid, while Beckham's tale captures the last-gasp free-kick that made him a national hero. Klinsmann's book charts his journey from World Cup winner to beloved Tottenham legend, and Zidane's story traces his rise from the streets of Marseille to World Cup and Champions League glory. Rooney's biography follows his fairytale rise from Croxteth to Manchester United superstar, Giggs' book tells of his remarkable longevity and skill as a Manchester United great, and Gerrard's and Carragher's stories celebrate two Liverpool legends who inspired unforgettable European nights at Anfield. Together, these ten paperbacks offer an inspiring, easy-to-read introduction to the history of the beautiful game through the eyes of its biggest stars, ideal for reluctant readers and football-mad kids alike.
