TURF WARS: A HISTORY OF LONDON FOOTBALL

Few cities in the world have as many professional football clubs as London and none have the history explored in this book by journalist and broadcaster Steve Tongue. It was here that the world's first national Football Association and the FA Cup began, before the capital's new crop of clubs had to meet the challenge posed by the North and Midlands - and each other. So for more than 100 years the turf wars have been fought in every corner of England's most vibrant football city. Turf Wars tells the story of football in the capital. Book jacket.
