The bottom corner : hope, glory and non-league football
Tassell, Nige2017
Books
Nige Tassell spends a season following top dogs Tranmere Rovers as they attempt to get back into the Football League, and inhabitants of the 'bottom corner' Bishop Sutton, who are just trying to get 11 men on a pitch. He tells the stories of this corner of society - the internationals playing eighth-tier football, the agony and the ecstasy of a Cup run, and the volunteers who keep the sport going. Filled with interviews with the players, the managers, the owners, the volunteers taking tickets and running the hot-dog stand, and the fans who turn up every Saturday, 'The Bottom Corner' is a fascinating insight into the win-or-die drama of non-league football.
