«A Fateful Love unpicks the intricate complexities of football's origins and rapid commercialization in a way that not only explains the past but also illuminates current debates about the meaning of the game. Combining mastery of the archive, deft theoretical insights, and the feeling for the game of a lifelong fan, Gavin Kitching's new book is an important contribution to our understanding of how and why football became so important to so many people.» (Tony Collins, author of Sport in Capitalist Society and How Football Began)
