In the fourth book in the acclaimed Turf Wars series, veteran journalist and broadcaster Steve Tongue chronicles the competitive history of football in Yorkshire where the 'turf wars' began earlier than anywhere else, often with bad blood spilt when Sheffield FC took on neighbouring Hallam. Fierce rivalries that remain to this day emerged among two new Sheffield clubs, Wednesday and United, plus Doncaster Rovers, Rotherham United and Barnsley; and in the West Riding, Bradford City, Leeds United and Huddersfield Town.

This book charts the ever-changing fortunes of one of the great football regions, with a colourful cast of famous players and managers, plus some infamous owners. Published in 2024.
