Get it Kicked!

The Battle for the Soul of English Football

About this book

Is the soul of English football at risk?

English football is booming, with stars from around the globe and lavishly funded academies. But has the pursuit of technical, tactical perfection subdued what made people love English football in the first place? Jon Driscoll examines how English football professionalized and the challenges it now faces.

Get It Kicked! asks if the amassing of wealth at the top threatens the traditions and grassroots on which the English game was built. Through interviews with people inside and outside the game, Driscoll explores:

  • The impact of the Premier League on community football.
  • The challenges faced by grassroots teams.
  • The future of English football in a rapidly changing world.

For anyone passionate about the beautiful game and its place in English culture, this is a must-read. Will English football adapt and thrive, or will it lose its soul in the process?
