Corner Flags And Corner Shops Book

Telling the true story of the Asian football experience, this book is by turns humorous, wry, philosophical and impassioned, as it lays bare the cultural and institutional shackles which have historically denied Asians access to the bastion of British football. The book interweaves testimony from footballers such as Jimmy Khan (rejected by Bury and Blackburn, but a debutant for Pakistan in a crucial World Cup qualifier) and Chris Dolby (ex-Bradford City), with the authors' own accounts of growing up in Sikh communities in the West Midlands in the 1970s and 1980s and following Wolverhampton Wanderers and England. It demonstrates that no Asian footballer has yet made the elusive breakthrough into the top flight of the professional game, in spite of the fact that football is a consuming passion for many British Asians.Read More
