| Description |
Set of 4 official clubmagazines from Penarol de Montevideo honouring their Scottish born football hero.
The set also includes the preview and review to the game played in 1952 in his honour. Harley was honoured with a match between Peñarol and Rampla Juniors at the Estadio Centenario. Over 40,000 spectators, including many former colleagues and members of successful Uruguayan teams, turned out to honour Harley's contribution to Uruguayan football.
Harley's time with Peñarol as a player and manager is considered significant for the fact that he changed the Uruguayan style of football from a focus on long ball to a game that featured short passing. This style of play is considered to have contributed to Peñarol and Uruguay achieving significant success up to the 1920s.
28 x 19 cms, magazine, 128 pages.
1952 - 1953 - 1954
