The book answers questions about how derbies have developed – which are the most competitive? Why are some so especially ferocious? Why have clubs changed partners? Why are there derbies based upon class, politics and religion? and why are they called derbies anyway? The book is for football lovers everywhere and the first half in particular will also appeal to people interested in social history – and the odd pub quiz!

A must read for the real football derby fans! |
