Opis

Offering an original look at English football, this title journeys to the heart of Englishness and sheds light on the true nature of a rapidly changing game that was never really meant to be beautiful. It also shows how Victorian sexual anxiety underlies England's many World Cup failures.

Recenzje

'Thank God for David Winner ... With an easy wit, Winner traces the game back to its roots and the results are as intriguing as they are amusing ... Those Feet really is a marvellous book and you're unlikely to come across anything better for some considerable time' Duncan White, FourFourTwo
