Luke Dempsey, author of the recently published Club Soccer 101: The Essential Guide to the Stars, Stats, and Stories of 101 of the Greatest Teams in the
World, will be visiting Words tonight at 7:30 PM to speak with fans about club soccer and do a book signing!
Luke has appeared on ESPN radio, NPR, CBS
New York, and The NY Post as the go-to expert on all things club soccer. And tomorrow evening, he will be at Words in Maplewood!
Club Soccer 101 is
the essential guide to 101 of the most storied soccer clubs in the
world. The book covers the history of European powerhouses like Arsenal,
Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Paris
Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid; historic South American clubs like Boca
Juniors, Corinthians, Penarol, and Santos; and rising clubs from
Africa, Asia, and America, including such leading
MLS clubs as LA Galaxy, New York Red Bulls, and Seattle Sounders.
Writing with the passion and panache of a deeply knowledgeable and
opinionated fan, Luke Dempsey explains what makes each club distinctive:
their origins, fans, and style of play; their greatest
(and most heartbreaking) seasons and historic victories and defeats; and
their most famous players—from Pelé, Eusébio, and Maradona to Lionel
Messi, Wayne Rooney, and Ronaldo.
