Trade Review"One of the best books ever written about football and the emotion it generates." JIM LAWTON, The Independent. "John's book sits prominently on the study shelf of any self-respecting football correspondent, a permanent reminder that the game is about human beings, about emotions and about glory. HENRY WINTER. "I welcome [The Soccer Syndrome] back, envy those lovers of football and good writing who'll now meet it for the first time, and am among its embattled admirers who will read so many of its chapters again and again."
