- More about The Great Uncrowned: Football's Most Celebrated Losers
The Great Uncrowned celebrates football's ultimate bridesmaids, teams that were good enough to win major prizes but didn't due to bad luck, limited resources, or outstanding players. It revives the exploits of great players and teams and provides context around the development and social position of each side, asking if football needs a structure that provides more winners and fewer losers.

Football's most celebrated losers are the subject of The Great Uncrowned: Football's Ultimate Bridesmaids. These clubs were good enough to win the major prizes but, for various reasons, didn't. In an age when victory is all too often viewed as the be all and end all, this book celebrates the teams that were beaten by bad luck, limited resources, or an outstanding set of players. From early 20th-century runners-up from Lancashire and Wales to flamboyant teams from Europe and South America, near-misses can be found anywhere in the world. Some have been forgotten, pushed aside by the elitist nature of modern football. Others have passed into history and are rarely revisited. As well as reviving the exploits of great players and impressive teams, The Great Uncrowned also provides context around the development and social position of each side and asks if football needs a structure that provides more winners and fewer losers.
