"The London Football Companion" follows the history of the sport in the capital, from its foundations in the days of gentleman amateurs to the obscene wealth and tabloid scandals of the modern age. As it winds its way postcode-by-postcode from Westminster to Watford via all points in between, it takes in everything from bungs and brawls to tantrums and transfers.

What emerges is a wonderfully rich, entertaining and compulsively browsable history of the beautiful game.
