Former professional footballer and now football expert and commentator Morten Bruun takes the reader on a passionate journey to the biggest stages of English football. Just follow all the others ... With his father by his side, Danish boy Morten emerged from Seven Sisters station in London on an August day in 1976. They were going to White Hart Lane to watch Tottenham play Middlesbrough and were so inexperienced that they had to ask for directions to the stadium. That's no longer the case, because as a football expert and commentator, English stadiums became Morten Bruun's workplace. Which he has loved with the same childlike fascination as the day he saw his first match. At the age of 11. He loved the players, the atmosphere, the songs, the culture and history that makes English football unique. That's why he wrote this book. To share his experiences. To take the reader to the big stages in London, Liverpool and Manchester. But also to the small ones. To the rainbow city of Brighton in the south. To the failed coal mining towns in the north. To the forgotten big clubs of Sheffield and Birmingham. To the cradle of football in Wolverhampton. And of course to London, Morten's favorite city in the world, where it all began. Readers are taken to the big derbies, the bitter relegation battles and the cup finals. They'll take a train ride over the rolling hills of Yorkshire and down the crowded tube trains to Wembley. And last but not least, they visit 48 different stadiums and meet all the different football cultures in England. In short: The trip goes to English football. And the reader has to come along. All the way around.
