'Simply magnificent.' Mail on Sunday A massive audience in
sitting-rooms, parks and pubs watched England in the 2018 World
Cup. Yet as Duncan Hamilton demonstrates with style, insight and
wit in Going to the Match, watching on TV is no substitute for
being there. Hamilton embarks on a richly entertaining, exquisitely
crafted journey through football. Glory game or grass roots,
England v Slovenia or Guiseley v Hartlepool, he delves beneath the
action to illuminate the stories which make the sport endlessly
compelling. Along the way he marvels at present-day titans Harry
Kane, Mo Salah, Kevin De Bruyne and Paul Pogba, reflects on
sepia-tinted magicians Stanley Matthews, Jimmy Greaves, Bobby
Charlton and Pele, and assesses managerial giants from Brian Clough
and Jose Mourinho to Arsene Wenger and Gareth Southgate. The
odyssey takes Hamilton from Fleetwood to Berlin, via Glasgow and a
Manchester derby, making detours into art, cinema, literature and
politics as he explores the game's ever-changing culture and
character. The result, like the L.S. Lowry painting that inspired
the book, is a football masterpiece.
