The light won't go out

Golden Book (over 20,000 copies sold)
The old Estádio da Luz, since demolished, went down in the history of SL Benfica, and also of Portuguese football, as its most mythical stadium.
To produce this book, all the most significant moments of the Cathedral's 50-year life were selected. Then, the author approached the respective protagonists who recounted the fantastic stories behind the moments of glory, the most curious situations, and the dramas that the stadium also experienced. From its inauguration in 1954 to its farewell match in 2004.
The testimonies of over 70 great figures - players, coaches, managers, etc. - make this book a unique historical document. "A LUZ não se Apaga" also includes a statistical chapter and, in the updated edition of September 2004, 24 pages dedicated to the impressive stories of the construction of the New Cathedral.
