In The World at Your Feet: One Man's Search for the Soul of the
Beautiful Game, Tim Hartley takes us on a footballing world tour.
We meet fans in Hong Kong who refuse to bow to China, help clear
the goats off a pitch in Africa and kick off the chanting at a
bizarre game in North Korea. Back home, Hartley visits all 92
Premier and Football League grounds and watches a prisoners' team
desperate to play a competitive match. Using wry observation and
detailed research, The World at Your Feet unfurls the good, the bad
and the ugly of football. It is brutally honest, informative and
often very funny. This is a rough guide with a difference. The
power of football across the world is put in the balance and
measured, its successes raised up, its failings laid bare. Hartley
rails against the excesses of professional football but he never
loses faith and through his travels he finds the soul of the game
is still alive and kicking. If you want a global health check of
the game we sometimes struggle to love, then you really need The
World at Your Feet.
