Those We Have Loved is an epic odyssey through the bleakest backwaters of English Football League history, the story of the 30 sides voted, or otherwise removed, from the competition between 1888-1988. Colourful contemporary match reports, in-depth background detail and modern analysis combine to tell the alternate history of English football; the story of lives lived for the most part at the lower end of the League, but every one tinged with glory and triumph alongside the final tragedies.
Fully revised and updated to note the rebirth of at least a few of the clubs featured, it is a reminder that many of those we have loved are still beloved today.
