From the publisher:
A thorough and valuable tribute to the accidental beauty of football architecture - Bob Stanley
Leon Gladwell has spent a lifetime travelling to over 2,000 grounds capturing every aspect of the beautiful game. From top divisions around Europe to non-league clubs here in England, from the glamour of the Premier League to the understated beauty of a game on the village green, he's seen and photographed it all.
This collection of nearly 500 photos over 270 pages takes you on a tour through the heart of modern football - the highs, the lows, the players, the fans, the volunteers and much more besides. In a world of change, football remains a constant and this book a roadmap.
Featuring companion essays from Stuart Roy Clarke, David Bauckham, Jurgen Vantomme, Pete Miles, Vince Taylor, Mike Latham, Mike Amos MBE, and Stuart Fuller, this is a beautiful look at what lies Beyond The Turnstiles.
The author:
Leon Gladwell has now watched football at over 2,000 grounds around the world and has been taking photographs along the way since he was 16. This is his first book.
