Book Synopsis

Tinpot is the story of football''s lost tournaments: the strange and forgotten competitions that sparked into life before shuffling off their mortal coil. The book tells their stories, giving them the spotlight they deserve.

It''s time for something different. It''s time to go somewhere new. It''s time to wander off the highways of football history and see where long-discarded paths lead.

England''s major football tournaments seem to have been with us forever. The FA Cup stretches back over 150 years, while the Football League is the oldest competition of its kind in the world. They are the survivors - the bright ideas that quickly caught on. Yet, behind these successes lie countless failed experiments. But they still have their stories to tell.
