Reviews

'Fascinating and profoundly political' -- Cas Mudde, author of The Far Right Today (Polity, 2019) and host of the podcast RADIKAAL 'Football has always been tribal, but this book shows how tribalism can be a force for good. Radicalism, social inclusion and joy all have their place on the terraces; there's more than one Marcus Rashford out there!' -- Val McDermid

'Football has always been tribal, but this book shows how tribalism can be a force for good. Radicalism, social inclusion and joy all have their place on the terraces; there's more than one Marcus Rashford out there!' -- Val McDermid 'Fascinating and profoundly political' -- Cas Mudde, author of The Far Right Today (Polity, 2019) and host of the podcast RADIKAAL 'A fascinating history of the football club, and explain how politics, music, art and sport combine on the terraces in the fight against discrimination. A powerful and mesmerising book about football, and how it can be a force for good in an often corrupt and capitalist world' -- FourFourTwo 'A well-founded club history' -- '11Freunde' 'An engaging history ... it is a tale unlike any other sports team' -- Counterpunch 'A timely reminder of the power of the football club, as a cultural and societal institution, in many ways more powerful than a religious place of worship or a town hall' -- Sportsman 'Less overlapping full-backs, catenaccio and gegenpresse, more punk rock, autonomia and Gramscian theory, this is no ordinary football book' -- Football Pink
