Us vs. Them by Giles Goodhead
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.
Giles Goodhead was educated at a soccer-playing minor public school in Essex and at Cambridge where he just about made the college team. He now lives in California, where he runs his own business-information company and plays soccer with his children in the back garden. This is his first book.
