Oh, San Lorenzo takes you to the fabled terraces of Argentina – and beyond. Following San Lorenzo from Buenos Aires to Marrakech, it recounts the chaos of clásicos, Copa Libertadores nights and a Club World Cup adventure, while getting to the heart of a complex nation whose identity is intertwined with football.
A unique chronicle of the fabled football terraces of South America – and beyond, exploring the behaviour and psyche of the game’s most fanatical supporters.
Falling in love with San Lorenzo de Almagro takes the English author on a unique groundhopping journey, from the barrios of Buenos Aires to the souks of Marrakech. Inside you will find:
First-hand accounts from the most intense and passionate football culture in the world – from lower-league games in Buenos Aires, to the Copa Libertadores and a Club World Cup final against Real Madrid
The thrilling experiences of an Englishman adapting to a new country, learning the local language and becoming part of a notorious Argentine fanbase
An account of the fortunes of San Lorenzo de Almagro – one of the ‘Big Five’ in Argentina – home and away, including matches across the Argentine capital, the province of Buenos Aires, Rosario, Cordoba, Chile and even Morocco
A compelling study of the San Lorenzo fanatics (recognised by Diego Maradona as Argentina’s most creative), who write the terrace songs that spread across the world
An exploration of the club’s history of rebellion and conflict with the military dictatorship in the 1970s and 80s, including a clash with the military junta that leaves the club displaced to this day
Interviews with a range of insiders, experts and fans, including the former head of San Lorenzo’s barra brava firm, the leader of the club’s campaign to return to Boedo, an ex-professional player and manager turned San Lorenzo pundit, members of the ‘School of the Terraces’ fan group, plus residents of the famously dangerous slum next to the current stadium
When you dig into the richest football culture in the world, the game itself is just one part of the story. Oh, San Lorenzo is a must-read for anyone interested in South American football or unique footballing cultures.
