For many football fans – including the author – Italia 90 is fondly remembered as the first World Cup that was truly theirs.

While reading this superb collection of tales, you’ll learn about the other Schillaci who could have made it to the World Cup, the goalkeeper who went on to play in the NFL, the impact of the removal of the back-pass rule and the story behind the now-legendary kit worn by Germany.
