Reviews
“This book offers a series of theoretical perspectives on the ‘dark side’ of football which will be of great interest to students of cultural studies and sociology. The book will also be of interest to people who follow the game beyond academia. … a unique and invaluable resource for understanding the negative aspects of football culture.” (Steven Harkins, San Francisco Review of Books, sanfranciscoreviewofbooks.com, May, 2017)
"This research is driven throughout by a mass online survey of football supporters and this approach makes the book a unique and invaluable resource for understanding the negative aspects of football culture." - LSE Review of Books
