Arsenal
A history of the Gunners told through in-depth biographies of the team’s key players on and off the pitch, from its late 19th century beginnings to today. Arsenal: The Story of a Football Club in 101 Lives tells the history of the team through the biographies of key individuals associated with the club from its formation in the gas-lit days of Victorian Britain through to the present day. From David Danskin, the Scottish mechanical engineer and footballer who was the driving force behind the team raised at Dial Square, a workshop at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, to Arsene Wenger, the longest-serving and most successful manager in Arsenal’s history. The in-depth stories of the characters—players, managers, chairmen—here paint a fascinating picture of how the club—indeed, the game of football itself—has developed from workers playing for fun to today’s multi-million-pound business.
Terrace Heroes
The 1930s saw the birth of the football idol - prototype for today's powerful media sport stars. The players of the 1930s were the first generation of professionals, yet until recently the life and careers of footballers of this generation has been little studied.

Tracing the origins, playing careers and 'afterlives' of several First Division players of the era, Graham Kelly's revealing history explores the reality of living in Britain between the wars and draws interesting comparisons with lives of the modern football hero today.

International Football as Cultural Diplomacy
Drawing on wide-ranging archival research, this authoritative new history examines the cultural diplomatic role played by British football in international affairs, British foreign policy, and international football during the 1930s. For British governments, soccer diplomacy emerged as a favoured instrument of soft power when facing Hitler’s Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, Hirohito’s Japan, and Stalin’s Russia on and off the field. Examining the evolving relationship between successive governments and the Football Association, this book records how governments, though publicly espousing the distinctive autonomy of British sport, pursued privately a progressively interventionist role rega...
Europe, Sport, World

Arsenal
I 1886 var London en fattig og beskidt by. Et sted, hvor lovløsheden hærgede, og hvor 12 skotske arbejdere på våbenfabrikken Woolwich Arsenal dannede et fodboldhold, der senere skulle blive et af verdens bedste med millioner af fans over hele kloden. Bogen er en hæsblæsende fortælling om en af fodboldspillets største klubber. Om alle de legendariske stjerner lige fra Joe Mercer og Charlie George over Ian Wright, Tony Adams og Dennis Bergkamp til Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas og danske Nicklas Bendtner. Det er samtidig historien om mystiske våbenmagere, udspekulerede direktører, stjerner, skandaler og blodige rivaliseringer.
