I know how good as a writer he is. Plus, his Inverting the Pyramid is one of the most mentioned books among football tactic enthusiasts. But with Angles with Dirty Faces, this was the first time I read one of his books, and it took no time to show why he is one of the best storytellers in football journalism. He digs into the past of Argentinian football and puts it in the context of the turbulent history of this nation. The book records the history that spans over a century and features hundreds of characters. There is so much information to put in. It really takes a skillful storyteller to keep track of all this, make sense of it, and make it interesting. He was able to do that, brilliantly. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Jonathan Wilson is probably one of the best scholars of the game *by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017* Jonathan Wilson is probably one of the best scholars of the game. This book is a comprehensive, time-spanning, and thorough look at Argentinian soccer. It doesn't seem to miss anything, and covers all of the most important aspects of the country's footballing history.However, the book lacks a bit of romance - Wilson tries often to tie the political scene of Argentina (often a contentious one) as it relates to football. While the two are undoubtedly intertwined, it never really feels believable in this book. It feels more like parallel events that overlap slightly, but it doesn't really capture the wholly intertwined aspect of football and politics, revolution, geopolitical events, etc. It feels a bit forced.Along the same lines, it often starts to read more like an encyclopedia or anthology vs. a story or historical literature. Many times I found myself zoning out because the book was just describing a relatively mundane match that didn't feel all that important in the long run of Argentina's football history.A great novel for those who wish to increase their knowledge of Argentinian footballing history, but not for those who are looking for a bit more flair or excitement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!, starting from the cover - It deeply reflects the history of Argentine fútbol. And more than that. *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016* It is impressive not only the knowledge, but the level the accuracy and understanding of local issues that Mr. Wilson shows.The book is able to unveil some information even to an old Argentine man, very fond of foot-ball, which is my case. It is a nice and funny experience to read some very local facts by the guy that writes at The Guardian!, with full accuracy ..., as if it were written in Spanish by a local journalist. Despite the huge barrier that a different culture and language is supposed to represent to grasp some facts, the book incredibly maintains the local flavor. Wilson also has a good understanding of Buenos Aires "lunfardo" (slang), and gets the deep meaning of some expresssions, which clearly helped him to write such an outstanding work. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/32295639-angels-with-dirty-faces](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/32295639-angels-with-dirty-faces) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
