Billy Wright – The World’s My Football Pitch – SIGNED First Edition 1953
£95.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Stanley Paul in London, 1953. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper has some creasing to the front panel (centre, top and bottom edges). The rear panel is with handling marks and some surface scratching, again with creasing at the top and bottom edges. The boards are free from notable chips and marks, though the top and tail of the spine is bumped. The text blocks are markedly clean and free from foxing. The authors signature is present on his own portrait, signed with best wishes in blue ink.
The autobiography of the first footballer in the world to earn 100 international caps, Wright also held the record for longest unbroken run in competitive international football, with 70 consecutive appearances.
