Fosse v Luffs is a story filled with drama, excitement, controversy
- and violence - about a footballing rivalry as intense as any in
modern English football. The Fosse (forerunner of Leicester City)
were the dominant club in the town of Leicester, and Loughborough
(the Luffs) were the biggest and most successful team in the county
of Leicestershire. Each encounter between these two sides was a
battle for supremacy within the county. Fosse v Luffs charts the
growth of the rivalry, from amateur games played in front of a
handful of family and friends to Football League encounters
witnessed by 10,000-plus spectators, with thousands more eagerly
awaiting the outcome. Drawing on extensive newspaper research,
Nigel Freestone brings to life this forgotten era when football was
a bone-crunching game and not for the faint-hearted. It's a
must-read for anyone interested in Leicester City FC, Victorian
sport or local history.
