The Superga air disaster claimed the lives of the entire Torino football squad, a team then hailed as the dominant force in Serie A. In the aftermath, Torino’s glory vanished overnight, leaving supporters and the wider footballing world in collective mourning. \u003cbr\u003eThe Day Italian Football Died: Torino and the Tragedy of Superga, penned by Alexandra Manna and Mike Gibbs, delves deep into the ripple effects of the Superga disaster. The book chronicles how the loss transcended sport, wounding the very soul of Turin and casting a long shadow over Italian football history. \u003cbr\u003eUnlike Manchester United’s remarkable recovery after Munich, Torino never regained its former stature. The narrative explores the enduring struggle of the club, its supporters, and the city, all haunted by memories of the Grande Torino and the fateful crash. The Superga tragedy remains an open wound and a cautionary tale within the world of football. \u003cbr\u003eThrough meticulous research and evocative storytelling, Manna and Gibbs deliver a compelling account that resonates with football historians, Serie A fans, and anyone fascinated by the resilience of a city united by loss and legacy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(218, 32, 42);\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eROYAL MAIL TRACKED 48\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.soccerbooks.co.uk\/collections\/fifa-world-cup\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eFascinating Selection of Books – A Must See! \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished: June 18, 2015\u003cbr\u003ePrice: £14.99\u003cbr\u003epaperback: 202 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: \u003cspan\u003e978-1780914800\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 15.6 x 1.17 x 23.39 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PUBLISHED 2015","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56376628937084,"sku":"35mail","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1060\/2756\/files\/The-Day-Italian-Football-Died.png?v=1771439338","url":"https:\/\/www.soccerbooks.co.uk\/fi\/products\/the-day-italian-football-died-torino-and-the-tragedy-of-superga","provider":"SOCCER BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
