A must for fans August 3, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is an excellent, well written book which is a must for any Scottish - indeed, British - football fan. Grippingly readable and packed with detail, it tells the storey of one of the darkest days in UK sporting history through the eyes of those who were there. Collier and Taylor have done a remarkable job tracking down those involved on that awful day and their testimony presents an broad, atmospheric and historically invaluable picture of the collapsing of the barrier and its aftermath. Plenty of urban myths about the Ibrox disaster have grown up over the past 35 years: this excellent book dispels them all, returning to a truth which is every bit as sobering and educative as any of the legends which have emerged since the accident happened.
Sincere tribute to those who perished June 1, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Although the subject matter might not appeal to many at first, this is a very well researched and sincerely written account of a dreadful disaster; one that maybe could have been avoided. To those of us south of the border this may not be a story that too many people are aware of but it is a story that deserves to be told. Evidently written with a great deal of care and with a passion to reveal the truth of what happened, I hope this fine book will ultimately be seen as a fitting tribute to those who sadly passed away on this tragic day. It includes several eyewitness accounts that will send a shudder down the spine of anyone who has been trapped amongst a crowd whilst leaving a football ground. Having said all this I found elements within the book to be quite uplifting - as the spirit of humanity is what this excellent book leaves us with.
