Product Description

Product Description

From the author of "Steaming In", this book covers the years from just prior to Hillsborough to the present, and shows how the mood in English football has changed dramatically since the era of hooliganism. The book revolves around the author's travels and gives a portrayal of the fun fans have when supporting their team. It looks at how football has changed now that the terraces have gone, and gives an insight into how the football press often distort the truth in order to sell more papers. The book emphasizes the importance now assigned to marketing within football and, on a darker note, looks at the advent of the drugs culture amongst fans. It chronicles the changes which have occurred in the game post-Hillsborough and leaves it to the reader to decide whether these have been good or bad for the game.

2.0 out of 5 stars Average book, not very engaging, 23 Jun 2001
By L. Harvey (Baltimore, Md USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I suppose I should have given more attention to the title, there wasn't much action or insight about fan violence in this book. I bought it on the strength of Steaming In, Wards first book, which I couldn't put down. I had to force myself to read this. Don't get me wrong its not bad, but its not good either.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, FAIR READ< NOT MARVELLOUS THOUGH>, 16 Feb 2000
It wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting more about the hooligan issues and felt slightly let down to find more of an autobiography about somebody who clearly is not a hooligan and doesn't know any! For the book as a whole it is generally a good read, but not if you are expecting an insight. Read all about him as he cycles through France to a match, joining a couple on their honeymoon night! Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but that's how i felt.
