Thank God for FOOTBALL!

Who would have thought it as a diehard and frustrated Ipswich Town fan this season but according to a new book Thank God for FOOTBALL! that’s exactly what we should do. Written by Peter Lupson and with a forward by John Motson, the book highlights the fact that nearly a third of clubs that have played in the FA Premier League have their origins in the church. From Aston Villa to Spurs, the book provides a fascinating account of the earliest days of the game, the churches behind the clubs and some of the leading lights who made it possible. Priced at £9.99, TGFF can be ordered from St Mary’s Shop.
