Lev Yashin: A View from the 21st Century. An Illustrated Biography
19.99 €
Lev Yashin was more than just a goalkeeper—he became a symbol of his time and country, the embodiment of honor, courage, kindness, and dignity.
The world nicknamed him "The Black Spider," and he went down in history as the only goalkeeper on the planet to win the Ballon d'Or. All the great footballers of the 1950s and 1960s, led by Pelé, considered him a friend. He had the ability, despite not speaking foreign languages, to attract people of all nations and races.
More than two decades at Dynamo, five USSR championship titles, Olympic gold, and a European Cup victory made him a legend of world football. Protecting the goal like no one before him, Yashin possessed something more—he preserved and instilled in fans a belief in fair play and fortitude.
The book's author, Igor Rabiner, reveals the living man behind the legend: one with mistakes and overcoming them, an ability to rise above the ingratitude of the crowd, a big heart, and immense inner strength.
This book is about a decent and good man who didn't just catch balls, but became a pillar of support for millions and the face of an entire era. It's about a man who was better than his era.
