Red Odyssey: Liverpool FC 1892-2017 is a uniquely affectionate and
often deeply moving history of one of the greatest sports institutions
on the planet. Born in the fire of boardroom conflict and launched into
the humble surroundings of the Lancashire League, Liverpool Football
Club not only endured but rose to conquer all of Europe, leaving its
local rivals trailing in its wake. This journey through the ages
represents a thrilling sporting odyssey, packed with heroes and foes,
victors and villains. It features tales of conquest and heroic
homecomings as well as soul-crushing defeats. Its people have endured
great tragedy and fought for both redemption and vindication. Modern-day
Liverpool supporters, standing on the shoulders of their forebears, are
tough, gritty, irreverent and united. These qualities have sustained
them for 125 years, and they run through the book like a golden thread.
