Thank God for Football! by Peter Lupson is a fascinating read, as much as a social commentary of the times as a history of football.
Peter Lupson's academic credentials have been put to excellent use in the intensive research undertaken to compile this unique volume. He is the author of a number of successful school and university French and German text books, as well as Across the Park: Everton FC and Liverpool Common Ground (Trinity Mirror Sport Media, 2009). He is honorary life president of a semi-professional club in North Wales and the founder of a thriving church youth league on Merseyside. He currently combines part-time English teaching with writing.
"Imagine a soccer game like this: No referees, no free kicks, no
penalty kicks. No wonder players gathered for a quick prayer before
kickoff. I would never have known that without reading a
fascinating book called Thank God for Football and hearing from the
author Peter Lupson all about his 11-year odyssey through the
history of many of England's original professional clubs."

"Peter's book makes a fascinating reading, as much as a social
commentary of the times as a history of football. I was glad to be
in Soho Square on stinking hot night to celebrate its publication
and commend "Thank God for Football" to you as a good read."
