Takes the lid off English league football,
By A Customer
This review is from: More Than Ninety Minutes: Brighton and Hove Albion 1995-1997 (Hardcover)
This book should be on the shelf of anyone who supports a football club that has been, is, or might be in financial trouble. It dissects one of the two most celebrated cases of a club being destroyed from the inside by the people who are supposed to be its guardians. The other case is Doncaster Rovers; this one is Brighton & Hove Albion. Unlike Doncaster, Brighton survived in the League, in spite of having its ground sold and being rendered homeless by its property developer owner. Many football books, especially those concerned with a single club, are frankly tatty. This one is quite superb: elegant text by Paul Hayward (the Daily Telegraph's senior sports writer, one-time sports journalist of the year and absolute Albion supporter) and photographs by Stewart Weir; over 200 atmospheric black and white pictures of the kind you might expect to see - indeed, already have - in a newspaper like the Guardian. The layout is restrained; the feeling that of a coffee table book. The story it tells is however gritty and eye-opening. It is the ultimate book for anyone who ever thought that supporting a club involves more than buying a Premiership strip and wearing it in front of the television.
