Description
Bob Waterhouse has created a highly original and insightful work which takes a deep dive into the thing which powers all of the most prominent and successful football clubs; the fans. As a lifelong follower of Everton FC, Bob has witnessed many shifts in club dynamics and, in his new book Everton: The Fans he traces the history, the heartbreak and the undying hope which lies at the heart of all football clubs and their devout legions of followers.
While this book is primarily aimed at supporters of Everton Football Club, the numerous sections on comparisons and contrasts with the historical and social development of the fan base with those of other clubs will be of utmost interest to all football supporters. Even non-football fans will be interested in the wider social and political background to the evolution of the fans from the late nineteenth century right up to the present day. Followers of contemporary cultural shifts will also be interested in how football fans have become more inclusive and diverse over the years.
Not just a fan appreciation book, Everton: The Fans, is a heartfelt and vital work which creates a fresh angle on the Football Club book.
