**Longlisted for The Telegraph Sports Book Awards 2021 - Football
Book of the Year** FC St. Pauli is a football club unlike any
other. Encompassing music, sport and politics, its fans welcome
refugees, fight fascists and take a stand against all forms of
discrimination. This book goes behind the skull and crossbones
emblem to tell the story of a football club rewriting the rulebook.
Since the club's beginnings in Hamburg's red-light district, the
chants, banners and atmosphere of the stadium have been dictated by
the politics of the streets. Promotions are celebrated and
relegations commiserated alongside social struggles, workers'
protests and resistance to Nazism. In recent years, people have
flocked from all over the world to join the Black Bloc in the
stands of the Millerntor Stadium and while in the 1980s the club
had a small DIY punk following, now there are almost 30,000 in
attendance at games with supporters across the world. In a sporting
landscape governed by corporate capitalism, driven by revenue and
divorced from community, FC St. Pauli demonstrate that another
football is possible.
