Description

In the world of soccer, terms like disaster are often used to describe a missed penalty or a sudden defeat. However, this book provides a necessary reality check by comparing those sports moments to real-life tragedies. It puts the game into perspective, reminding readers that soccer is not more important than life or death. For the first time, this volume explores actual tragedies within the history of the sport. It examines the loss of talented young players in the Munich and Zambian air disasters, as well as the fatal overcrowding incidents at Hillsborough and Moscow. By looking at these events, the text examines how fans and players have become victims of negligence throughout the history of the game. This collection offers an international perspective on how soccer intersects with real-world tragedy.
