Inhaltsangabe

Protestant-v-Catholic, Unionist-v-Nationalist, East-v-West, their team against my team. This is the story of Northern Irish football and so much more: the tournaments, the near misses, the unsung heroes and unlikely tales of triumph amid adversity. George Best, David Healy, Peter Doherty and all the big names throughout the eras are traced to their roots ''back home'' as Roberts shines a light on the human dimension to some of Ulster''s most famous ninety-minute sons. Exploring sectarianism, shipbuilding and sliding tackles, Roberts has finally provided a definitive account of the beautiful game in this often-troubled land.
