Dreams and Songs to Sing
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-009-34023-6 (ISBN)
Dreams and Songs to Sing is a unique people's history of the triumphs and tragedies of one of the biggest teams in sport. From Shankly to Klopp, Alan McDougall takes us on a global tour of Liverpool FC's history, viewed through the eyes of the people who've been there all along: the supporters. He weaves together interviews with fans from around the world, poignant farewells to Shankly, birthday cards to Michael Owen, letters from grieving Italians after Heysel, and eyewitness accounts of Hillsborough to tell the inseparable story of the club and the city. This is a history which crosses borders of class, gender, race, and nation, ranging well beyond the pitch but never forgetting the crowds and matches at the heart of it all. Rarely does sports writing have this much intelligence and soul, powerfully combining the personal with the universal, and the everyday with the epic.
Alan McDougall is a leading sports historian and a lifelong Liverpool fan. He is author of The People's Game: Football, State and Society in East Germany (2016) and Contested Fields: A Global History of Modern Football (2020).
