Reviews
Amid widespread contemporary expressions of positivity regarding football's assumed social value, one might be forgiven for thinking that the game's deleterious aspects are being consigned to history. Football's Dark Side provides a critical and timely rejoinder, demonstrating that beyond the glamour and spectacle an array of serious problems and exclusions endure. Daniel Burdsey, School of Sport and Service Management, University of Brighton, UK This research is driven throughout by a mass online survey of football supporters and this approach makes the book a unique and invaluable resource for understanding the negative aspects of football culture. - LSE Review of Books
"“This book offers a series of theoretical perspectives on the ‘dark side’ of football which will be of great interest to students of cultural studies and sociology. The book will also be of interest to people who follow the game beyond academia. … a unique and invaluable resource for understanding the negative aspects of football culture.” (Steven Harkins, San Francisco Review of Books, sanfranciscoreviewofbooks.com, May, 2017) ""This research is driven throughout by a mass online survey of football supporters and this approach makes the book a unique and invaluable resource for understanding the negative aspects of football culture."" - LSE Review of Books"
