Product Description
From the playgrounds of Ireland to the streets of Colombia, and from the desert villages of Africa to the greatest arenas of the United States, soccer is a sport that transcends the barriers of age, language, gender, and background. Respected British sports photographer Levon Biss has traveled the world taking pictures that speak profoundly of people enjoying the immediacy, the emotion, and the fun of the beautiful game. From arresting scenes of jubilant fans scaling walls to celebrate with their idols to evocative images of children playing in quiet back streets, One Love captures the intensity of feeling inspired by soccer at every level. Packed with stunning, moving, and amusing photographs, as well as inspiring quotes from international soccer heroes, One Love is a charming testament to the enduring popularity of soccer around the world. Biss's photography brings together the young and old, amateurs and professionals, backyards and stadiums, reflecting the diversity of soccer's devotees and the common love of the game that unites them. Published with the support of renowned soccer brand Umbro, One Love is the perfect gift for soccer lovers everywhere looking forward to the 2006 World Cup.

I purchased this book for a 14 year boy. I am so thankful that I took the time to look closely at the book before I gave it as a gift. It contained some very inappropiate references to sex. I returned the book.

I bought this book in Australia with the intention of sending it to my 25 year old son who lives in Brazil. However, after flicking through the pages I just didn't want to part with it - so I sent him a copy through Amazon. The text is sufficiently dense to 'have a light read' but the photography is what is truly wonderful as well as thought provoking. I love identifying the locations, the authors of the quotes and the
'team' colours. This is a library collection book.
