50 PEOPLE WHO FOULED UP FOOTBALL
Book ID/图书代码： 03275010B35218
English Summary/英文概要： Despite its immense wealth, and the high public profile it enjoys, English football is not a land of milk and honey. The national side has won the World Cup only once when England staged the tournament in 1966 and the woeful performances in recent years would suggest that Sir Alf Ramsey’s success will retain its unique status. "Fifty People Who Fouled Up Football" casts a sceptical eye on the game in this country. It looks at the game as it really is, through the gaze of an outsider, who grew up loving the game but who has been turned off by the excesses of players, managers, broadcasters and fans, and increasingly by the rich men who own and run the clubs.
The big bang came in 1992, when the Premier League went its own merry way, aided by the millions that Sky television found to ease the passage. Now the game is richer, and can attract the world’s leading stars, but it is poorer in spirit. The old football community means little to these Masters of the Universe. The old links between club and community have been ruined, and many players live in a different world, where they feel free to behave as they like.
The book names the guilty, who include those on the fringes of the game as well as the ones at the heart of it. Indignant in the right sense, it is a lament for a spoilt game, and a world that has vanished.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2010足球盛事
全球陷入瘋狂的世足賽
英格蘭國家隊唯一一次奪得世界盃冠軍是在1966年，此後它便止步不前，以至於拉姆西爵士率領的國家隊永遠停留在那過去的輝煌瞬間。本書以一個旁觀者的角度，審視了足球界。
1992年，英超成立，澳大利亞出身的傳媒大亨默多克所擁有的天空電視臺以2.87億美元買下了英超前5年的轉播權，簽訂了第一份獨家電視轉播權。
足球已經滲透到英國人的血液裡流淌，許多人一旦選定一家足球隊，就會終生不渝支持到底，如果英超解散消失，那麼球迷的精神支柱也就不復存在。 但英格蘭超級聯賽發起之後，金錢改變了英格蘭足壇的一切。足球俱樂部也搖身一變成欲望怪獸。本書列出了50個該對英國足球現狀負責的人，這是對這個被過度開發產業的興衰，也是為那過去存在的精神而加以批判。(RH & CL)
