Us v Them: Journeys to the World's Greatest Football Derbies

Us v Them: Journeys to the World's Greatest Football Derbies

by Giles Goodhead (Author)

Synopsis

Travelling football fanatic Giles Goodhead drags a series of unsuspecting friends and family to experience eight of the world's most intense football derbies. From the noisiest (100,000 furious Barcelona fans simultaneously blowing whistles) to the scariest (trying to scalp a ticket in Istanbul), he describes the thrills of gate-crashing symbolically loaded grudge matches in cities split by football, including Glasgow, Milan, and Buenos Aires. Goodhead's adrenalin-soaked book is a modern commentary on tribalism around the globe.
