Sommario/riassunto

Addressing the concerns of Liverpool FC's apparent decline, as well as Liverpool's global reputation as the home of the Beatles and the ""Mersey sound"", this book studies football by examining its links with other important popular culture forms, especially pop music, but also TV and youth styles.
