Today the top flight of English football is inescapable: a
multi-billion-pound, star-studded beast shrieking from our screens
and newspapers seven days a week and presented as the be-all and
end-all of the game's history. Yet, prior to the Premier League's
inception in 1992, there's a rich tapestry winding back to 1888 and
the formation of the Football League. In The Title Scott Murray
delivers a lively, cherry-picked history of the country's football
narrative through the prism of the old First Division. Rich with
humour yet underpinned with solid research, this is a glorious
ramble across English football's varied terrain. With as much about
Preston, Burnley, Wolves, Portsmouth and West Brom as the likes of
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, we learn the less
well-known stories the sport has to tell, such as the plight of
Glossop - the smallest club to ever play top-flight football. Every
period is covered from the early managerial genius of Tom Watson,
the bowler-hatted Victorian Mourinho, to Kenny Dalglish and Alex
Ferguson, via Herbert Chapman, Matt Busby, Bill Shankly and Brian
Clough. All presented in Murray's usual sardonic style, The Title
is a highly informed, fresh and affectionate one-stop guide to the
history of the English game, and a delight for any football fan.
