“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.”
Tom Jenkins, sports photographer, The Guardian

“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.”
Richard Williams, journalist

“Innovative, pioneering and with an eye like no other, Gerry Cranham is right up there with the best sports photographers, or just plain photographers that this country has ever produced.”
Bradley Ormesher, sports photographer, The Times
