Streetwise Soccer

Messi, Pele and Maradona, the three greatest soccer players ever, perfected their wizardry on the street. In this unique book, interspersed with personal soccer adventures from around the world, UEFA Pro-Licence coach Steve Payne shows how to transfer the magic of street soccer to the practice field. “This book is an absolute must for every youth coach,” says Han Berger, Technical Director for Football Federation Australia and former head of the Dutch national youth teams. ……“Steve has to be one of the most enthusiastic youth coaches that I have come across in my 30 odd years in professional football,” adds Terry Gibson, former Tottenham and Manchester United striker.
