“With unprecedented access to FIFA’s collection of footage, artist Robert Davies has spent several years scrutinizing every World Cup tournament since the competition was launched in 1930, searching out those heart-stopping moments that have since become part of our collective memory.  Using this footage, he has created more than 100 highly original photographs that encapsulate the most celebrated and the most notorious episodes in the history of the game, images that tease and prompt our memories through framing, cropping and abstracting the original film stills.
Gianluca Vialli, former Italian international and winner of the UEFA champions League with Juventus, and Richard Williams, award-winning sports journalist, introduce the book, while brief captions define each moment and provide all the essential details of the matches.”
