  1. Kaushik Roy

    This book is a fantastic study of British football. It’s very detailed and well-researched. I would have liked a little less detail.

  2. Abhijeet Kumar

    Goldblatt dives deep! The book is incredibly thorough, linking football to broader societal changes. Sometimes gets bogged down in details, making it a bit of a slog.

  3. Gaurav Lakheshwar Moon

    A solid and scholarly analysis of British football. Explores complex relationships between sport and society. It is quite long and requires patience.

  4. Gopal Agarwalla

    Provides great social context to football. However, it is not the most engaging book. More history than about football.

  5. Sahitya Narvariya

    Fascinating analysis of football’s role in British society. A bit dry in places, but overall a compelling and thought-provoking read. Definitely worth checking out.

  6. Navneet Kumar

    A really good book, giving a new way to look at football. Can be a bit heavy at times. Worth it if you want to look at football differently.

  7. Navya Joshi

    Comprehensive and insightful. Goldblatt connects football to major social shifts with ease. Some sections could be a little shorter, but still good.

  8. Shubhangi Singh

    A great book. The book is very detailed and insightful. It explains football and what impacts the sport through the years. A great read.

  9. Dhruv Kumar

    Found it slow going. A bit dense. It had moments of brilliance, but the writing was a little boring for me, even if the topic sounds interesting.

  10. Tarun

    Offers a look into British football. It is a bit too dense. Not a book to read if you want something light.

  11. Atul Dhillon

    A must-read for any serious football fan. Explores the political and economic forces shaping the game. However, it can feel academic at times. I liked it overall.

  12. Ketan Hari Hazra

    Excellent examination of football’s cultural impact. It is dense but rewarding if you are into the topic.

  13. Abhishek Gedam

    Enjoyed the historical perspective. It needed some livelier writing. The book had some potential.

  14. Subhayan Chowdhury

    Good insight into the world of British football. Not a light read, expect some dry spells throughout the book.

  15. Ram Sharma

    Important read for understanding British football. Very detailed; at times I lost my way through the history, but overall a worthwhile reading experience

  16. Mayank Joshi

    A brilliant exploration of British football. It feels like a college textbook, which is what kept me from giving it a perfect rating.

  17. Anurag Sahu

    The book provides an interesting insight into football, giving great historical context. It can be slow at times, but still enjoyable.

  18. Akash Patro

    A detailed look at British football’s evolution. Goldblatt’s insights are sharp, but the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming at times. Still, a worthwhile read.
