Hard gras #46

This February 2006 issue of Hard gras — the Dutch football magazine for true readers — features a beautifully understated black-and-white cover photograph of a footballer in kit signing an autograph for a young boy, with a stadium pitch visible in the background. The cover promises two compelling reads: a piece on the hero of Ruud van Nistelrooij and a tribute to the tragically short life of Duncan Edwards. At €7,75, it's a thoughtful blend of contemporary and historical football storytelling that any serious fan of the game would want on their shelf.
