Produktbeschreibung
For more than 130 years, half a mile of Merseyside has borne witness to one of football's most enduring and paradoxical feuds. Across Stanley Park takes readers from the humble cricket-field origins of Everton in 1878, through John Houlding's landmark schism that gave birth to Liverpool FC in 1892, and into the modern era of global broadcasting, data-driven tactics, and megastadiums. This definitive history blends match-by-match drama, tactical revolutions, and social commentary to show how two clubs forged their identities through shared triumphs and tragedies. Beyond the pitch, the rivalry reflects the city itself: its industrial boom, wartime solidarity, post-industrial struggles, and cultural renaissance. Through archival research, testimonial interviews, and richly detailed appendices, this book reveals how the Merseyside derby became both the friendliest and fiercest fixture in world football-a laboratory of innovation where concrete double-deckers, white boots, gegenpressing and semi-automated offside first proved their worth. Across Stanley Park is for every fan of Everton, Liverpool, and football history. Whether you bleed blue or red-or simply love a good story-this book offers a panoramic view of community, culture, and competition, reminding us that among friends and foes alike, nothing quite beats the roar of a derby day.
