It’s a special thing to look back at your favorite club’s biggest moments, special times that made the club what they are today. There’s no better moment than a great goal and there is no greater book than one full of 50 great goals.
Liverpool FC: The Greatest Goals (Zarif Rasul) and Arsenal: The Greatest Goals (Nick Callow) are great reads for fans and supporters of each club for several reasons. It’s a great way to remember great players because typically great players score great goals. Each book contains a charming introduction, great content about players and games, and even greater photography. It’s a trip through the history of each club and a very enjoyable one at that.
Liverpool’s 50 best goals start all the way back in 1946 with Billy Liddell’s league debut, a game that saw LFC put score seven goals against Chelsea. Rasul finished with a beauty from Daniel Sturridge against West Brom in 2013. You’ll hear about Roger Hunt, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Robbie Fowler, and others along the way.
Arsenal’s 50 great goals start with seven from Ted Drake in 1935 and finish with Alexis Sanchez in 2014. Callow shows favorites like Thierry Henry, Freddie Ljungberg, and Dennis Bergkamp.
I’m sure it’s hard to pick great goals from decades of great moments, but this duo does a masterful job of doing just that. The book shows that they followed a thoughtful process, one that created a pair of great reads.
