Description

Winner Stays On journeys into the heart of English football, using FA Cup fixtures to plan the route. This unique adventure takes us across the entire spectrum of the English game, from small-town clubs to major league teams, revealing the people and places that make football tick. With original research and rich, thought-provoking prose, the book blends elements of travel writing with football culture and sociology. It's a frank account of the state of modern football, as well as a heartfelt celebration, uncovering where the game is going wrong. Amateur and professional footballers are treated with equal curiosity, and faltering industrial towns are given the same respect as prosperous cities. Over 14 matches and 14 locations, Winner Stays On brings a fascinating first-hand take on modern England and the sport its inhabitants turn to for escapism.
