London Turf Wars – A Football History

Few cities in the world have as many professional football clubs as London and none have the history explored in this book by journalist and broadcaster Steve Tongue. It was here that the world's first national Football Association and the F.A. Cup began, before the capital's new crop of clubs had to meet the challenge posed by the North and Midlands – and each other. So for more than 100 years the turf wars have been fought in every corner of England's most vibrant football city.

This fully updated edition of Turf Wars tells the whole story with two new chapters, including one on women's football. Published in 2026.
