Description

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.
