Still Dreaming
Authors Alex Fynn and Martin Cloake follow the Tottenham Hotspur team through the 2022/23 season, and ask why it is that Spurs continually fail to take full advantage of opportunities presented by the modern game.
Arsènal
A new edition of the bestselling, seminal biography of Arsenal FC, fully revised and updated with four new chapters to bring it up to date at the end of a potentially historic season for the club. Based on unprecedented access granted to the authors, including exclusive interviews with Arsene Wenger and key board members, current and former players, Arsenal looks in detail at the club's transformation into a global superpower under the stewardship of their French manager right up to the end of the 2010/11 season.
Arsène and Arsenal
In this long awaited sequel to the best-selling Arsenal - The Making of Modern Superclub (first published in 2008 with new editions in 2009 and 2011) Alex Fynn and Kevin Whitcher examine the current state of Arsenal FC and their performance on and off the pitch since 2011. Has head coach Arsene Wenger become a 'Specialist in Failure' (an accusation levelled at him by Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho) or does he oversee one of the best run clubs in world football? Critics of Wenger cite his failure to replace key players, to adapt to the modern transfer market and an over-reliance on inexperienced players as reasons to doubt the Frenchman, while supporters point to the fact that Arsenal have quali...
One Step from Glory
The tale of Tottenham Hotspur's extraordinary run to the 2019 Champions League Final in Madrid. Authors Alex Fynn and Martin Cloake examine how Spurs confounded all predictions to enjoy their most successful ever CL campaign - and what it means for the future. They explain why a certain style of football and competing in Europe are central to the club's identity, and look at how manager Mauricio Pochettino drew on these traditions to create a very modern success story. Using match reports from national newspapers to provide the narrative thread, Fynn and Cloake draw on their football backgrounds to explain why this campaign so fired the imagination - in a season with no signings, played mostly without a home stadium. With a rich cast of characters and locations ranging from Eindhoven to Madrid via Barcelona and Dortmund - and one emotional night in Amsterdam - One Step from Glory tells the story of a football odyssey.
The Great Divide
The Great Divide is the absorbing inside story of two great English rivals, Arsenal and Spurs, and their rise to the challenges of the 1999-2000 season, now updated with three chapters on the 2000-2001 campaign. Not a match-by-match account, but an odyssey through the events and issues that shaped the game during the 1999-2000 season. The Great Divide reveals the way the two clubs are seen by the people who matter: the managers, the players, the directors, the fans and the media. For Arsenal the priority is a winning team. At Tottenham the priority has appeared to be to ensure good business. Now The Great Divide is fully updated in paperback, immediately after a period of high activity in no...
Glorious Game Extra Time
Alex Fynn and Kevin Whitcher draw upon times spent behind the scenes at Highbury to piece together an intimate portrait of both the man at the helm, Wenger, and life at the only Premiership club with a chance of challenging the Old Trafford hegemony. The Glorious Game looks back to Arsene Wenger's arrival at the club, studies his philosophy of football, examines Arsenal's underachievement in Europe, and their continuing battle for English supremacy with Manchester United. Featuring interviews and profiles of the key individuals at Highbury—from Wenger and David Dein, through to the likes of Thierry Henry, Sol Campbell, Liam Brady, and Bob Wilson—this edition includes four new chapters on the 2003-2004 season.

Dream On
From a privileged viewpoint, this book follows Tottenham through the 1995-6 season. The unfolding drama as Tottenham seeks to re-establish itself as one of the winning teams in English football is examined against a background of revolutionary changes in the way the game is played and organised.
Out of Time
What's wrong with English Football? And what will it take to bring about the revolution the game so desperately needs? Against the background of ex-England manager Graham Taylor's appalling failure to qualify for the 1994 World Cup finals, the authors examine the catalogue of petty squabbles, empire building, and sheer incompetence which have brought the national game to its knees. It includes inside coverage of the failure of the Premier League: the award of the television contract to BSkyB; the widespread abuse of the transfer system; and the spurning of the Taylor Report's recommendations by so many clubs.
Does Your Rabbi Know You're Here?
Ever since the children of penniless immigrants caught the train from Whitechapel to White Hart Lane--to be greeted with the refrain: 'Does Your Rabbi Know You're Here?'--this forgotten tribe have helped to shape the Beautiful Game. In telling the fascinating lives of these largely unsung trailblazers, Clavane uncovers a hidden history of Jewish involvement in English football. From Louis Bookman, the first Jew to play in England's top division, to the pugnacious winger Mark Lazarus, whose last-gasp goal won the 1967 League Cup for QPR, to shady figures like One-Armed Lou, a ticket tout who never told the story of his missing limb the same way twice, through to the businessmen who helped form the breakaway Premier League, and in the process changed the English game for ever.
