Reviews

'Unlike its predecessors, this Encyclopedia of British Football is not a listing of tables and results, or biographical descriptions of its stars, but an in-depth examination of the many different facets of the game from the anthropology of football to youth training schemes. Nowhere before, to my knowledge, has anyone tackled such a diverse array of topics including comic characters and crowd control, drama and drugs, law and literature, mascots and medals all within the same covers.' Gordon Taylor, Chief Executive, Professional Footballers' Association
