- More about Red Star Paris, More Than Just a Football Club: Punks, Politics and Power Struggles in the Fight for the Coolest Club on Earth
The untold story of French football club Red Star Paris, its amazing history and the absolute soap opera of two wild seasons.
A defiantly community-driven club, Red Star has a global reputation as one of the last remaining outposts of authentic, anti-modern football. But a controversial takeover by a US investment firm pits fans against club in a bitter fight for France''s original rebel team.
Written by former journalist Simon Binns, who spent two seasons getting under the skin of the club and the local area, this compelling book:
- Features exclusive interviews with the fans, local journalists, businesses, politicians, finance experts and former players
- Explores the proud history of Red Star, one of the world''s oldest football clubs, and how its fierce underdog spirit and reputation for resistance were fashioned
- Details how the ultras lock horns with the club in a battle that takes them from terraces to courtroom, while the team tries to escape non-league obscurity
- Tells the story of a remarkable club, but uncovers much bigger issues in French football, society and what the relationship between a club and its community really means
Forget PSG. Red Star is the biggest (and coolest) club in Paris. But it might not live to tell the tale. This is a must-read for football history and social history enthusiasts, plus any football fan disillusioned with the modern game.
