Win a copy of Inverting the Pyramid!
Together with Orion Publishing, Icons.com are giving two lucky readers the chance to win this book by Jonathan Wilson.
Whether it's Terry Venables keeping his wife up late at night with diagrams on scraps of paper spread over the eiderdown, or the classic TV sitcom of moving the salt and pepper around the table top in the transport cafe, football tactics are now part of the fabric of everyday life.
Jonathan Wilson is an erudite and detailed writer, but never loses a sense of the grand narrative sweep, and here he pulls apart the modern game, traces the world history of tactics back from modern pioneers such as Rinus Michels and Valeriy Lobanovskyi, the Swiss origins of Catenaccio and Herbert Chapman, right back to the beginning where chaos reigned. Along the way he looks at the lives of great players and thinkers who have shaped the game, and probes why the English, in particular, have 'proved themselves unwilling to grapple with the abstract'. This is a modern classic of football writing, to rank with David Winner's 'Brilliant Orange' and Simon Kuper's 'Football Against the Enemy'.
To be in with a chance of winning, simply answer the following question correctly:
Competition Question:
Q:
Who was top scorer at Euro 2008?
Fernando Torres
Andrei Arshavin
David Villa :T:T
