Welcome to EdgarDavids.com.
I am currently designing what will be the top fan site for Edgar Davids, the spectacular Dutch and Juventus midfielder. Until the site goes up, here are some good books about the beautiful game:

cover Fever Pitch
by Nick Hornby
Fever Pitch is my all time favorite book about football. It answers questions not only about the beautiful game, but about the psychology of being a fan. Some say that this is only a book for an Arsenal fan, but I think it's essential reading for anyone interested in explaining man's modern condition, especially regarding football. If you haven't read this book, get it and read it now. It's that good.

cover David Beckham: My World
by David Beckham
Amazon.co.uk Review
David Beckham would probably have been a male model had he not discovered his amazing talent for football; at least, that's the impression one gets after flicking through this gorgeous coffee table tome devoted to the striking features of the country's most celebrated and idolised sportsman since George Best. Read more...

cover Brilliant Orange
by David Winner
The Dutch have given the world some of the greatest football players that the game has ever known and in Brilliant Orange, out in paperback on 19 March 2001, David Winner explores both their genius on the pitch and the culture that has spawned footballing legends.

cover Paolo Di Canio
by Paolo Di Canio, Gabriele Marcotti
Amazon.co.uk Review
After a turbulent and semi-successful career in Italy--culminating with a key role in the title-winning AC Milan side of the mid 1990s--mild-mannered maestro Paolo Di Canio touched down briefly at Celtic, before unresolved contract wrangling saw him move on to Sheffield Wednesday, where his unique brand of "talent 'n' tantrums" quickly made him a firm "favourite" with fans, referees and fellow players alike. Read more...

cover Barca: a People's Passion
by Jimmy Burns
Amazon.co.uk Review
From the English businessmen who founded the club, through Cruyff, Maradona, Lineker, Venables, Robson and Ronaldo, FC Barcelona, European football giant and quintessential embodiment of Catalonian pride, has been built on the efforts of foreign mercenaries. Read more...

cover Football Confidential
by Ian Bent, et al
Amazon.co.uk Review
Football Confidential is a book which every football fan should read--if only to open their eyes to some of the real matters that continue to affect the game as we know it. Read more...

cover Leeds United on Trial
by David O'Leary
Amazon.co.uk Review
As manager David O'Leary admits in his controversial chronicle of the 2000/01 campaign, Leeds United on Trial, whatever his talented young side achieved on the pitch was overshadowed by the ongoing criminal trials involving three of its brightest stars. Read more...

cover The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro: A Real Life Footballing Fairytale
by Joe McGinniss
Whether he's chronicling his ordeal at possibly the least-inviting hotel in Italy (the heat doesn't come on until October, no matter the temperature; he is assigned to a room up four flights of stairs though there are no other guests), or sketching a colorful cast of characters that includes the team's sinister owner and an utterly unflappable translator, McGinniss prompts roars of laughter as he reveals an Italy tourists never see.
