Hampden Babylon is widely respected as one of the best books on Scottish football. Based on Kenneth Anger's infamous Hollywood Babylon, it takes a celebratory journey through the back streets of sex and scandal in the Scottish game, providing a popular and intelligent romp through the lives of the losers, boozers and substance abusers that populate the nation's sport.
First published in 1991, Hampden Babylon was met with a phenomenal critical reception and was hailed as 'the first sadomasochistic history of football'. It is a book that not only loves the game but lusts with a taste for the perverse and the scandalous. Hampden Babylon is dedicated to the human imperfections that make the game great.
Fully updated and revised from the original 1991 publication, which has been unavailable for years, Hampden Babylon remains one of the funniest books ever published on football.
