Richard Crooks traces football from the Victorian era to today through its matchday programmes, which reflect social and cultural change over 150 years, from early 2-3-5 formations to local brewery adverts and beauty contests for female supporters. It was published on 5 October 2026, so independent reviews are still to come. Best for: programme collectors and anyone curious about how the game’s culture has changed.
