'A book as rich and complex as the extraordinary worlds of Turkish
football it explores' David Goldblatt 'Captures the Turkish game
with love, in all its beauty and darkness' Simon Kuper Ask a
British football fan what they know about Turkish football, and
they are unlikely to describe scenes of camaraderie, hospitality
and humour. They are more likely to mention banners proclaiming
'Welcome to hell'. Or Leeds United supporters stabbed to death on
an Istanbul street. Frustrated by the game's distorted image back
home, John McManus set out to show the Turkish football that he
knew - the rich, funny, obsessive, fan culture that he had
encountered on the terraces. But he hadn't accounted for the
politics. Travelling from the elite training facilities of Istanbul
to dusty pitches on the Syrian border, taking in visits to
far-flung clubs, encounters with characterful players and
experiences at riotous matches along the way, Welcome to Hell?
offers a unique perspective on an alluring yet troubled football
culture.
