The book includes a foreword by Gabriele Marcotti and player introductions by notable names such as; James Horncastle, John Foot (author of Calcio! a A History of Italian Football), and Andy Brassell. Marcotti wrote:
"George Rinaldi has brought together these different figures in this book. It's a labour of love and a celebration of legends who thrived with the odds stacked against them in a culture that still seems more comfortable with the men at the other end of the pitch."
