The stunning photography featured in this book is provided by the team from Getty Images, led by Andrew Redington, Ross Kinnaird, Stuart Franklin, Warren Little, Richard Heathcote and David Cannon, and including more of the game’s most prominent photographers whose work is published and admired worldwide.
