Association football, traditionally, has not been well served by its literature. But, in the 1970s and 1980s, a new movement in football writing began to make its presence felt: Foul magazine, football fanzines and jargon-free books by interested academics together offered a more thoughtful perspective on the game and its problems. This book aims to continue that perspective. In it, a number of academic writers in the field, most of them also football supporters and activists, try to take stock of the British football world as the New Europe of 1992 beckons.
