This illustrated companion to the original Thank God for Football! contains almost 120 images, making it an attractive stand-alone purchase.

The original Thank God for Football! was published to great acclaim in 2006. This new version, with abbreviated text, gathers together a huge number of rare images of founders, founding churches and early teams. It includes contemporary photographs of streets where players lived, pubs in which they socialized and churches where they gathered. There are also images reflecting the impact of the original book, such as the restoration of founders’ graves and features in match programmes and club magazines.

Clubs covered include Aston Villa, Barnsley, Birmingham City, Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Queen’s Park Rangers, Southampton, Swindon Town and Tottenham Hotspur.
