Scunthorpe hasta la muerte
The inventors of football really knew how to skilfully combine the ingredients of this sport: tradition, spectacle, business, impact on the media… The English Premier League is merely the formidable window onto a thriving reality with many other expressions.
Saga Editorial shows us one of these realities with the publication of 'Scunthorpe hasta la muerte', a book that follows the footsteps of Alex Calvo-García (Ordicia, 1972) in the lower leagues of English football, investigates the society in which the most popular sport on the planet emerged, and portrays the fans of Scunthorpe United, the club from a small industrial town.
The book combines travel writing, historial essay and the biography of a young man who, in Wembley's legendary stadium, scored the most important goal in the history of Scunthorpe United.
