From the publisher:
Moments That Could Have Changed Football Forever is a detailed study of the 'what-if' moments that have shaped football and what the alternative could have been. The bounce of a ball, an ill-timed injury or a contentious decision are just some of the moments that could have changed football forever. Every fan of every club or country has a 'what if' moment that they know could have brought their team glory had things turned out differently.
Some of these moments have proved unforgettable, some have become iconic and others have changed the very nature of the game itself. The knock-on effect of a shot at goal scored or missed can have resounding consequences that are only realised later. This book explores those effects impartially and objectively, through research, context and coaching insight.
Each moment has been chosen to guarantee discussion and debate among fans, who will of course have their own opinions about what would have happened. There are even fantasy match-ups between the great teams of different eras in this fascinating book.
