商品簡介
The story of the renaissance of cash-strapped Worcester City, the club that kicked Liverpool out of the FA Cup. It offers a pitch-side view of a remarkable season that ended in a league championship and the team just a penalty kick away from Wembley.
Foreword by former Everton player and ex-Worcester City player and manager John Barton.
Told by veteran journalist Chris Bishop, who has followed and written about Worcestershire non-league football for 50 years.
Inside this gripping book you’ll discover:
- A terrace-eye view of the rebirth of a once-proud non-league club
- A gripping, funny and raucous story of non-league survival that will resonate with football fans everywhere
- The stories of two other teams connected with City for 120 years: Stourbridge, the club that spawned Jude Bellingham, and Kidderminster Harriers, the only professional side in Worcestershire
- How all three suffer the same money and ground headaches in these trying times, despite a resurgence of non-league football in the face of Premier League greed
- A look at how fans are driving a resurgence in the non-league game as they are repelled and priced out of the Premier League
This is a love letter to non-league football where proud communities stand against penury, racism and oblivion, where the wrong moves are taken for the right reason: survival. It’s an unusual world where directors are prepared to put on a nappy and push a pram for miles for the love of their club.
