New Zealand and the 1982 Soccer World Cup book

New Zealand soccer: the impossible dream, by Ian Garner and Ian Walter, was released in 1982 to capitalise on the surging popularity of soccer in New Zealand. The book’s cover image, taken during the All Whites’ clash with Brazil in Spain, showed goalkeeper Frank van Hattum diving to gather the ball at the feet of the Brazilian star Socrates, with defender Ricki Herbert close by.
