THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SOCCER - published by NEW YORK COSMOS Eastern Airlines. New York, 1975. A rare booklet to encourage young people to choose football as their favorite sport.
"Football is the number 1 sport" - an explanatory booklet to encourage young people to choose football as their favorite sport. Throughout the booklet are detailed explanations of the rules of the game, the skills required of the young player to succeed in this game, the place of soccer among other parts of world sports, and more. Among other things, the editor writes that the popularity of the soccer game around the world is so great that the world championship final between Brazil and Italy that took place in Mexico City was watched by about eight hundred million people around the world - more than the number of those who watched the first man's walk on the moon!. Throughout the booklet there are photographs of world soccer star Pele performing on the field, even though the booklet itself is not about Pele himself, but rather propaganda for the game of soccer in general.
