Steaming in -
Colin Ward
Synopsis
First published in 1989, STEAMING IN is now acknowledged as the definitive
account of terrace life in the 1970s and '80s. Unvarnished, unflinching, it
tells the story of Colin Ward's experiences at Arsenal, Chelsea and England
matches, at home and away. From Highbury to Luxembourg, Turin and Istanbul, Ward
charts the camaraderie and confrontations, the hatred, the fear -- and the
unexpected friendships between rival fans. By turns disturbing, horrifying and
hilarious, it is astonishing reading, and draws a vivid picture of numerous
colourful terrace characters. Countless words have been bandied about on the
subject of football hooliganism by politicians, journalists and sociologists.
Now re-issued with a new Preface by the author, STEAMING IN shows us what it was
really like, and reminds us just how much football has changed. Controversial
and provocative, it has become that rarest of gems -- a classic of football
writing. |
