In “It's a great and glorious game”, Law celebrates the sport he loves; elsewhere he gives his own view in “The World Cup? Not for me” and writes “A Royle touch”. The cover catches the Manchester United star in action, setting the tone for an annual full of the game's energy and personalities. \u003cbr\u003eLaw is joined by a remarkably varied team of contributors. George Best writes, “Have courage, will travel.\" Alan Ball recalls memorable matches, Charlie Cooke calls himself a schemer, and Bobby Charlton turns to England. Roger Hunt surveys the football world, Brian Kidd reflects on his career, while Mike Summerbee, Johnny Giles, Derek Dougan and Malcolm Allison offer further views from inside the game. Les Shannon contributes a piece on management at Bury, and Ken Aston writes about the spirit of football. \u003cbr\u003eThe contents range from the next World Cup and the demands of fitness to schoolboy football, match reporting and the game's lighter side. Scores of action photographs accompany these articles, giving readers a vivid picture of football in Law's era. For Manchester United followers and collectors of classic football annuals, this fourth volume offers both the voice of its famous namesake and a wide view of the sport around him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(218, 32, 42);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 255);\"\u003eThe annual has spotless red cloth boards, a tight binding and clean, bright pages.
