Theatre of Silence

More about the book

THE FOOTBALL BOOK WITH A ROTTEN EDGE!They used to call it the people s game but not anymore; silent crowds, soulless all-seater stadiums, rip-off ticket pricing, corporate priorities, players diving, 24/7 fixtures, aggressive stewards, overbearing advertising, overpaid players, agents and of course - Sepp Blatter. All of these and more are the target of a relentless attack from Matthew Bazell, who asks why no-one s singing anymore. In a heartfelt personal account, Bazell examines the way in which football, both on and off the field has lost its soul to greed, but argues that, ultimately it s the supporters who have the power to reclaim the game. This new edition includes updates, pictures, new material and a special guest chapter by John Lydon.
