The first book about the Mitropa Cup, the inter-war equivalent of today’s Champions League.
The Forgotten Cup takes us back to a lost age of football and provides a well-researched overview of the state of European football between the two World Wars.
Author Jo Araf carefully examines the socio-political milieu of the era and the main events that impacted Europe including the advent of dictatorships, Hitler’s election and the Austrian coup d’etat as well as the outbreak of the Second World War.
The book also includes previously unpublished accounts of footballers and other forgotten personalities, including: football innovator and coach Árpád Weisz, radio and TV producer Erberto Levi, two time Champions League winner with Benfica, Béla Guttmann and many more!
