FC Sankt Pauli - the football club in the red-light district of
Hamburg; a transvestite chairman; terraces populated by punks,
pimps and prostitutes; a club run by anarchists, united under the
skull and crossbones flag. This is the cliche that has been lazily
peddled, one which attracts clueless stag parties from the
Reeperbahn to the Millerntor stadium. But it's not the real St
Pauli. In Pirates, Punks & Politics author Nick Davidson puts
the record straight, intermingling the history of FC St. Pauli, and
the district it represents, with an account of his own involvement
with the club. Back in 2007 Davidson travelled with his father to
watch his first game at the Millerntor. What he found reinforced
his faith in football. This book goes beyond the stereotype to seek
out the real St. Pauli - a club with a passionate, left-wing fan
base that has made a stand against, fascism, racism, sexism and
both in football and wider society. As the author and countless
others have discovered, the Millerntor is also a place which
welcomes with open arms fans seeking an alternative to the rabid
commercialisation of football elsewhere, encouraging them to stay
for hours after the final whistle and immerse themselves in the
vibrant fan culture. Read this book and fall in love with a
different kind of football.
