Description
This football book was published for Sport Relief but as it was too late to be official merchandise, there has been only one small print run – it is therefore a very, very limited edition. Mostly it has been sold to people who work in football and at select venues. As such it is very difficult to get hold of. I’ve managed to wangle a few extra copies out of the printers and I want them to sell for as much as possible – every penny is going to this worthy cause, after all.

150 glossy pages

Original blurb:
“A limited edition book is now available to help raise money for Sport Relief. ‘The Time-travelling Football Fan’ is an account of the history of football and its fans. The author is a university teacher and historian. The popularity of football is traced from its earliest beginnings in the Middle Ages through to today. Sample chapters include:
Heysel and Hillsborough – the two tragedies of the eighties
The 1923 White Horse Final – due to FA mismanagement, the first match played at Wembley saw 200,000 Bolton and West Ham fans crammed into the stadium. Yet the press made no criticism of the organisers.
The Christmas Truce: England versus Germany – the famous match of Christmas, 1914, and how it nearly brought an early end to a disastrous war.
Fascism and football – how and why Mussolini created Serie A. How in 1938 the British Foreign Office made the English team give the Nazi salute at a friendly between Germany and England, thereby paving the way for the disastrous appeasement policy.
Also: the economics of the game – how football has been plunged into crisis by the rich clubs and their sponsors; the history of televised football and why the Beeb preferred to show tennis instead of the beautiful game; what we can learn from the Michael Shields case; plus much, much more. A simple story links the various sections.
Price includes p&p
