Soccer Style: The Magic and Madness Details
Author Simon Doonan has two passions in life: Fashion and Football. At one time these two obsessions would have made very strange bedfellows. But times have changed: football and fashion have fallen in love. The unapologetic and unbridled style choices of today's soccer stars offer a fascinating window into the heart of the game. Looking at the beautiful game through the lens of style, Doonan entertainingly explores the magic and madness of this unique culture. Charting football style from its very beginnings, he pays homage to the great style icons of the game, from George Best to David Beckham, before turning his gaze to the hair, the tattoos and the cars, not to mention those other style icons of the game: the fans, the managers and, of course, the WAGs. A laugh-out-loud read for even the most fickle football fan or fashionista. Read more

This is a great book! For all of us who love the beautiful game and the beautiful men who play it, this is a must read. From vintage icons like George Best to current media-magnets like Ibra, Simon Doonan delves into all the elements of footballer style - not just the clothes, but the tattoos, the hair, the cars, even the WAGs. And of course it's all done with Doonan's signature insight and humor. Andrea Pirlo is the centerpiece of the "hair" chapter - enough said!
