The Premier

The Premier: Big Business and Great Football explores the history and evolution of the world’s most popular football league.

Discover the curiosities and stand-out moments of the greatest Premier League clubs as well as fascinating stories of the owners, managers, players, fans and chroniclers who have lit up England’s top-flight league for 30-plus unforgettable years.

From Wenger’s Arsenal and Ferguson’s Manchester United to the Guardiola–Klopp rivalry and Arteta, from tragic memories, tribal hymns and hooliganism, to controversial overseas owners and alleged breaches of fair-play rules, this is the Premier League in all its colour and complexity. Penned by an award-winning Anglo-Spanish writer, the book also highlights the contributions of Spaniards and other non-English players.

Delving beyond the purely anecdotal, this is a lively, illustrative, incisive, enlightening and entertaining account of one of the world's greatest sporting institutions.
