Book description

Travelling football fanatic Giles Goodhead drags a series of unsuspecting friends and relatives to eight of the world's greatest derby games. From the noisiest (Barcelona) to the scariest (a toss-up between Istanbul and Glasgow) Us vs Them desribes the thrills of gate-crashing grudge matches in cities split by football. Eight unique trips add up to a highly entertaining commentary on football - and tribalism - around the world. Giles Goodhead was educated at a soccer-playing minor public school in Essex and at Cambridge where he just about made the college team. He now lives in California, where he runs his own business-information company and plays soccer with his children in the back garden. This is his first book.
