London's Fields: An Intimate History of London Football Fandom
celebrates the turbulent rivalries, local antagonisms and even, on
occasion, the fraternal harmonies held in common by the supporters
of the capital's many professional football teams. The us and them
dichotomy of a local derby is told here through the voices of us,
the fans. In a one-club town or city your choice of team would
appear to be simple. However, in a city with a dozen clubs the
choice is less straightforward. London is a place of constant flux
and change; it's diasporic nature may have taken people far from
their ancestral heartlands but the football clubs that remain there
have, in a sense, travelled with them - local bragging rights and
capital gains remain just as important. The author's upbringing was
steeped in football, he has played and coached the game; written on
it and worked in it. His less than conventional path to choosing
his own team forms the foundation upon which the stories of other
fans are richly rendered.
