Mundial Issue 27: Cult Heroes Special

A special edition celebrating football's cult figures and beloved oddities. This issue explores everything left-field and wonderful across the game, from unconventional equipment to iconic stadiums, memorable kits to the players, coaches, and commentators who earned devoted followings outside the mainstream. Emmanuel Petit features prominently with the story of a goal that changed France forever.

The edition also includes a thoroughly researched ranking of every Ballon d'Or winner as a potential drinking companion, a West African football adventure spanning Senegal to Guinea and Sierra Leone to Liberia, Seb White's reflections on taking his daughter to matches, and a comprehensive deep dive into terrace insults from around the world.
