Tor! (Goal!) traces the extraordinary story of Germany's club and international football, from the days when it was regarded as a dangerously foreign pastime, through the horrors of the Nazi years, to the postwar triumphs, the World Cup victories, and all the way up to the present day. Germany did not have professional players or a national league until the 1960s, yet it became one of the most successful football nations in the world.

'without question the most entertaining historical football book ever written' – The Guardian
