Soccer, the world's most popular mass spectator sport, gives birth
to great achievers on the field of play all the time. While some of
them become heroes and stars during their playing career,
transforming themselves into national as well as global icons, very
few come to be remembered as all-time greats. They leave an
enduring legacy and thereby claim to be legends by their own
rights. While the rise and achievements of these soccer greats have
drawn considerable attention from scholars across the world, their
legacies across time and space have mostly been overlooked. This
volume intends to reconstruct the significance of the legacies of
such great men of world soccer particularly in a globalized world.
It will attempt to show that these luminous personalities not only
represent their national identity at the global stage, but also
highlight the proven role of the players or coaches in projecting a
global image, cutting across affiliations of nation, region, class,
community, religion, gender and so on. In other words, the true
heroes, icons and legends of the world's most popular sport have
always floated at a transnational global space, transcending the
limits of space, identity or culture of a nation. This book was
published as a special issue of Soccer and Society.
