The untold story of the most contested match in the world of football.
"A necessary read." - Henry Winter
"Wonderful." - Daniel Taylor
Liverpool and Manchester. Two fiercely independent, colorful, and culturally vibrant cities. Yet, their inhabitants cannot stand each other with a tangible passion. It is a divide that spans generations, classes, genders, and ethnic groups. And it has grown over the years, mainly because of one thing: football.
The dark, malevolent grudge that pervades the fans of Liverpool and Manchester United has infiltrated every aspect of life in the two cities. Football is not just an indicator of aversion, as it is in places like Glasgow or Istanbul. In northwestern England, it is the engine of animosity.
How did we get here? Why did things get so bad? And what does this say about the two cities that these clubs are based in?
Written by a Scouser and a Manc, in a rare collaboration, Red on Red analyzes this divide by talking to those involved in ten significant football matches. It discusses with the personalities who safeguarded and provoked the rivalry: Alex Ferguson, Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard, and Gary Neville, among many others. Fans, managers, referees, police, and politicians are also questioned. And through each legendary game, the authors recount the full story of the most remarkable dichotomy not only in football but in modern Britain.
This is Red on Red, a rivalry like no other.
