During this time he attended about 150 matches in more than 40 stadiums in England, and was at games in nine different divisions.

The author not only explains how Leicester City sensationally won the Premier League and Roman Abramovich transformed Chelsea, but also talks about the world's first vegetarian football club and the oldest English amateur team, where players still do not get paid for playing, and also reveals the secret of who the Beatles were rooting for. This book is for those who love football, as well as the history, cinema and music of England - we will talk not only about the game itself, but also about the place of football in the culture of the country.
