About this Book

On 30th June 2002 Pierluigi Collina, universally acknowledged to be the world's finest referee, officiated over Brazil and Germany in the World Cup Final. A matter of weeks later he was back on the field refereeing an Italian Cup first round encounter between Sampdoria and Siena. This unique vantage point makes Collina perfectly placed to comment on the game, the stars, the media and the matches he has overseen, including England's World Cup victory over Argentina, and Manchester United's dramatic treble-winning European Cup Final.
