About this book

"When a small-time football club brings on a promising new recruit, it seems the team may finally step into the spotlight. But as the star rookie's future proves lucrative for those around him, he's thrown into a battle of principles between the team's money-hungry manager and its caretaker still pining for the glory days. Both a love letter to the sport and an examination of its less savory traditions, The Red Lion delves behind the scenes of Britain's most beloved pastime."--Back cover.
