A compelling and deeply personal account of one man's journey as a Crystal Palace supporter, set against the backdrop of Brexit and its impact on British society.
In the heart of South London, where the roar of the crowd reverberates through the stands of Selhurst Park, lies a football club that embodies the spirit of a community. Crystal Palace Football Club is more than just a team; it's a way of life for its loyal supporters. And for one man, the club's fortunes have been inextricably linked to his own personal journey through the tumultuous years of Brexit.
In Once Upon a Time in Crystal Palace: Heart, Football, and Life Under Brexit, author and lifelong Palace fan David Squires recounts his experiences as a season ticket holder during the club's most successful period in recent history. Through his eyes, we witness the highs and lows of following a football team, the camaraderie and heartbreak shared among fans, and the way in which football can reflect the wider social and political landscape.
Set against the backdrop of Brexit, Squires's story is a poignant and often humorous exploration of what it means to be British in the 21st century. He delves into the complexities of identity, community, and belonging, and asks what the future holds for a country that is increasingly divided.
Once Upon a Time in Crystal Palace is a must-read for anyone who loves football, is interested in the impact of Brexit on British society, or simply enjoys a well-written and deeply personal story. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish the last page.
