At its peak in the late 1970s, the North American Soccer League was, in many ways, way ahead of its time. It was football as performance, played by men with a bent for flair, hair and glamour. More than just Pelé and the New York Cosmos, it lured the biggest names of the world game like Cruyff, Best, Beckenbauer and the mercurial Rodney Marsh to play football as it was meant to be played - without inhibition and to please the fans. 'Rock 'n' Roll Soccer' reveals in all its glory the colour and chaos of the world's first truly international league as it played - and partied - itself into oblivion.
