This is definitely not a book for someone not from Leeds, who is not a sociologist. It is fascinating if you are from Leeds and want a different angle on a minority community. It is brilliant if you are part of that minority, as I was. For me it was a book that 'I lived with and was in' from the beginning and sorry to end. But it is more book about sociology than soccer.
