Product Description
A raw, powerful first novel, The Football Factory centres on Tom Johnson, a reasoned 'Chelsea hooligan' who represents a disaffected society operating by brutal rules. We are shown the realities of life - social degradation, unemployment, racism, casual violence, excessive drink and bad sex - and, perhaps more importantly, how they fall into a political context of surveillance, media manipulation and division. Graphic and disturving, occasionally very funny, and deeply affecting throughout, The Football Factory is a vertiginous rush of adrenaline - the most authentic book yet onthe so-called English Disease.
From the Back Cover
"The best book I’ve read about football and working-class culture in Britain in the nineties. Buy, steal or borrow a copy now."
—Irvine Welsh
The Football Factory "is not exclusively a novel about [soccer,] it is also a chronicle of a lost tribe – the white Anglo-Saxon, heterosexual who is fed up with being told he is crap. It is the story of a flight from fear by a group of Londoners who have seen the present and know it does not work. King writes powerfully with a raw realism and clear grasp of a culture which has been denied but cannot be ignored."
—Glasgow Herald
"King’s novel is not only an outstanding read, but also an important social document. This book should be compulsory reading for all those who believe in the existence, or even the attainability of a classless society."
—Sunday Tribune
"Powerfully written, and tells you more about the mentality of those who disrupt football matches than all the theses of the sociologist academics put together."
—Daily Mail
"Bleak, thought-provoking and brutal, The Football Factory has all the hallmarks of a cult novel."
—Literary Review This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
