Product Information
Alan Edge, a lifelong Liverpool supporter, was shocked to discover that his young son preferred to wear a Newcastle shirt because it was more fashionable than the home team's. The experience led to this account of football as a religion, in an age when religion is out of fashion, and allegiance to the local team is no longer a foregone conclusion. The book is also a study of the gradual commercialization of the game and the concerns of fans who feel the game they love is being taken away from them by big business.Product Identifiers
