Thank God for Football! by Peter Lupson
Thank God for Football! by Peter Lupson is a fascinating read, as much as a social commentary of the times as a history of football.
"Imagine a soccer game like this: No referees, no free kicks, no penalty kicksNo wonder players gathered for a quick prayer before kickoff. I would never have known that without reading a fascinating book called Thank God for Football and hearing from the author Peter Lupson all about his 11-year odyssey through the history of many of England's original professional clubs." -- Richard Starnes * Ottawa Citizen *
"Peter's book makes a fascinating reading, as much as a social commentary of the times as a history of football. I was glad to be in Soho Square on stinking hot night to celebrate its publication and commend "Thank God for Football" to you as a good read." -- Ian L. Johnson * Southampton Daily Echo *
