St. Pauli – Another Football is Possible
St. Pauli – Another Football is Possible
A run through of the history of FC St Pauli and it's relationship with the local community in particular the autonomous squatter movement in and around the Hamburg red light district and port where St Pauli is based. Much more than a book about a club it's a run through of pre and post war German politics within the context of football, Hamburg and St Pauli (the club and urban area). Shows that another football is possible, i.e. isn't all about the money and sponsorship or even winning, although the pressures on the club to embrace the commercial / capitalist world are great in order to survive financially and improve league table wise. An excellent read if you are interested in football, politics and society. Surely that's everyone then.
