Description

Football is at the heart of British culture – yet never has it been in greater turmoil. Once, football stood for passion, community, honour, even beauty. The game is in danger of losing its lifeblood – and its soul. In The Beautiful Game? David Conn, the game’s most respected investigative journalist, sets out on a journey through the heart of our national game, exploring how the sport has failed – and who is to blame. This is a book for those who keep the faith, who believe that the sport itself, stripped of the greed and self-interest blighting its organisation, still has values, and can still be beautiful.‘For a fascinating insight into the causes, and the creators, of the game’s ills this is a superbly told tale’ Independent

About The Author

David Conn is football's foremost investigative journalist. He was Sports Reporter of the year in 2004 and is the author of The Football Business (Mainstream, 1997).

This is a quite magnificent book…with a splendid eye for important detail and a determination to ask difficult questions, Conn reminds us of what is important- Conn's greatest feat in a book that is well researched and written with searing honesty is to show the game's magnificent resilience
