Journey through legendary moments in football history with this unique clash of comic art and iconic players, from Maradona to Messi and beyond.
Watching the best players on the pitch—with laser passes that slice the defence in two or the ability to stop an attack dead in its tracks with one pinpoint tackle—you can only wonder if they aren't blessed with superpowers…
League of Football Legends reimagines 80 of the greatest ever footballers as superhuman heroes, each with exceptional abilities that elevate them beyond mortal status. Packed with stunning illustrations inspired by classic comics, and featuring cult players both past and present, this is a riveting dose of football nostalgia that walks fans through the biggest games, the best goals and the brightest stars.

- A high-quality coffee table book with a luxury finish and a bonus poster, making this a must-have gift for football fans, comic art enthusiasts or as a one-of-a-kind gift for dad
