Best and Edwards
Gordon Burn
In Best and Edwards , Gordon Burn looks at two of football’s brightest talents. United by the club they played for, but divided by the tragedy of Munich, they came in very different ways to embody their respective generations. In plotting the course and trajectory of these two careers, Gordon Burn has produced a brilliant and startlingly original look at football and British culture.
