Death or Glory by Jon Spurling
Jon Spurling has travelled the world to scratch beneath the glossy, confetti-strewn surface of the world's biggest sporting events to uncover their dark secrets. Did Argentina's fascist Junta really bribe Peru with grain and arms to facilitate victory in a crucial match on their way to winning the 1978 World Cup? Which country's players were sent to work in a chicken plucking factory as punishment for a poor result during the 2010 tournament? Part travelogue, part history, Death or Glory is based on more than 100 exclusive interviews.Rebels for the Cause: The Alternate History of Arsenal, Highbury: The Tale of Arsenal in N5, and Death Or Glory: The Dark History of the World Cup are among Jon Spurling's works. He's also written for Four Four Two, When Saturday Comes, and the Blizzard, Arsenal's official matchday program.
