The word disaster is much used in the world of soccer - conceding a
penalty, a sending off, an untimely defeat. Comparing these with
real life disasters puts things into perspective and the results of
the games become insignificant. Soccer is not more important than
life or death!
For the first time, real life tragedies in the world of soccer are
explored in one volume. From the loss of life of talented young
players in the Munich and Zambian air disasters to fatal
overcrowding at Hillsborough and Moscow. During the history of the
game, fans and players alike have been the victims of negligence,
complacency and misfortune. The causes, consequences and legacies
of these and other disasters are examined in this book that reveals
frightening parallels and important lessons.
A powerful book suitable for students of sociology, sports studies
and social history.
This volume was previously published as a special issue of the
journal Sport in the Global Society.
