‘This is the most compelling survey of London football and its strife-torn history … objective yet delightfully revealing. Sheer enjoyment from first to last.’ – Patrick Barclay, Football Writers’ Association
The definitive history of London’s football rivalries – brilliantly told by sports journalist and broadcaster Steve Tongue.
Born in Walthamstow and brought up at Leyton Orient, Steve saw his first football match in 1957. Since then, he has chronicled the drama, passion and eccentricities of the capital’s clubs across the decades.
In this riveting book you will find:
Royal rescue – the club saved by a donation from royalty
Hat-trick heroics – a centre-forward who scored four hat-tricks in three weeks, all against the same derby rival
From wing-half to legend – the former wing-half who became his club’s greatest player: as a goalkeeper
New discoveries – West Ham’s highest attendance at Upton Park, not officially acknowledged by the club
War-time injustice – a team robbed of a title because the table was based on goal average, not points
Ten-goal wicketkeeper – a Middlesex cricketer who netted ten goals in a single game, six of them headers
Political links – the deputy prime minister who backed one of London’s least fashionable clubs
Cup chaos – the manager who broke the lid of the FA Cup en route to a civic reception
London kings – the teams crowned top London club every season since league football began
London Turf Wars is the story of football in England’s most vibrant soccer city. It’s a must-read for all lovers of page-turning football history.
