    About this ebook

    ‘Seeing Red’ is an exclusive extract from the best-selling ‘Mad For It’, published in association with FourFourTwo magazine. It examines one of the greatest sporting rivalries from the viewpoint of the people that matter; the fans.

    ‘Mad For It’ proves that some football matches are far more than just a game.

    These short extracts, from the original book published in association with FourFourTwo magazine, provide a fresh and revealing insight into the people that make these matches matter – the fans – using their own words and stories to illuminate the conflicts, tensions, histories and celebrations behind these unforgettable games.

    This first essay examines the biggest rivalry in English, if not World, football. Led by Sir Alex Ferguson and Kenny Daglish, games between Manchester United and Liverpool stir up some of the strongest emotions of any sporting event. On match days, two of the biggest cities in the UK come to a standstill. ‘Seeing Red’ gets to the root cause of the rivalry and examines why it matters so much.

      An excerpt from a larger book, this looks at the rivalry between English football clubs Manchester United and Liverpool, and while I'm a fan of one of the clubs, I'm not a huge fan of this short work.

      It offers up a little background on the history of the rivalry between these two clubs, but does so without a lot of detail, so unless you know about English soccer -- and therefore are probably already aware of the rivalry -- there isn't a lot here to be learned.

      The author is a good writer and we do catch a few personal glimpses -- details that enriched my understanding of the rivalry -- but overall, it's not enough here to really make the time worthwhile.
