Publisher's Synopsis
The Premier: Big Business and Great Football explores the history and evolution of the world's most popular football league. Discover the curiosities and stand-out moments of the greatest Premier League clubs as well as fascinating stories of the owners, managers, players, fans and chroniclers who have lit up England's top-flight league for 30-plus unforgettable years. From Wenger's Arsenal and Ferguson's Manchester United to the Guardiola-Klopp rivalry and Arteta, from tragic memories, tribal hymns and hooliganism, to controversial overseas owners and alleged breaches of fair-play rules, this is the Premier League in all its colour and complexity. Penned by an award-winning Anglo-Spanish writer, the book also highlights the contributions of Spaniards and other non-English players. Delving beyond the purely anecdotal, this is a lively, illustrative, incisive, enlightening and entertaining account of one of the world's greatest sporting institutions.
