Angels with dirty faces : the footballing history of Argentina

Wilson, Jonathan, 1976-2017
Books, Manuscripts
Diego Maradona, Gabriel Batistuta, Lionel Messi - Argentina has produced some of the greatest footballers of all time. But the rich, volatile history of Argentinian football is made up of both the sublime and the ruthlessly pragmatic. Jonathan Wilson, having lived there on and off during the last decade, is ideally placed to chart the sport's development in a country that, perhaps more than any other, lives and breathes football, its theories, and its myths.
