“I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Beautifully compiled and designed it’s a wonderful testament to Gerry Cranham, one of sports photography’s greatest pioneers.”

“Not just Ali but Best, Billie-Jean, Lillee & Thompson, Piggott, Korbut, World Cups, Wimbledon, Olympics & more in this beautifully produced new selection of the great Gerry Cranham’s sports photos from the 60s and 70s. Oh, and AC Milan’s visit to Athlone Town. Highly recommended.”
