The sociologist Dr Jamie Cleland has been studying the discourse of football and football fans for more than a decade, and agrees that the window has shifted. “What we’re seeing,” he says, “is a ‘casualisation’ of language. Society has become a lot busier, and so social norms aren’t being challenged as they would have been historically. People are getting away with things that they wouldn’t have a generation previously.” This personalised Tottenham Hotspur football book documents every unforgettable and historically significant achievement of the one and only Spurs. The edition offers an incredible glimpse into the team’s past since they were founded in 1882, covering action from White Hart Lane, the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and beyond, including two UEFA Cups, two Division One titles, and numerous FA Cups.

From Anfield to beyond, any Reds supporter can now relive the highest of highs in the history of one of football’s greatest teams, all in this Liverpool book. A bounty full of 20th and 21st-century original match reports and headlines is collected and bound by hand in this book, offering an inimitable perspective on the Reds’ definitive history, which has included 6 European Cups and 19 League titles. A good few of those, including Ron Atkinson – one of only two of that number to win a trophy – were hired and fired by the club’s infamous long-serving chairman, “Deadly” Doug Ellis. But Villa have always set the benchmark high. As Ramsay once said: “If a man has not measured up to the Villa standard of a gentleman and a sportsman, he has gone.” There are clear parallels here between the rise of online abuse towards footballers and the highly gendered hooliganism of the 1970s and 1980s, a process that Cleland describes as “capital acquisition”. “This was the notorious aspect of hooliganism: people engaged in violent behaviour because it gave them a form of social or cultural capital,” he says. “Through the generations, football has historically turned boys into men. Whereas once they proved themselves by engaging in violence, now it’s about proving their worth online as a fan. That person might not have a high level of capital in their everyday life. But this gives them a sense of worthiness. They want someone to bite. They feel alive.” One of the greatest defenders of all time, Bobby Moore, along with the brilliant Billy Bonds and Sir Trevor Brooking – and many more past and present football legends – are featured in the book. Every article is written by reporters who watched the games as they were played, making this West Ham memorabilia book entirely unique. You won’t find another book to match this edition, perfect for any loyal Iron.

Last season, 287 of the 2,663 football fixtures played in England and Wales – more than 10% – featured at least one incident of hate crime, according to the Home Office. Arrests for racist or indecent chanting rose by 150%, even though fans stopped attending matches in March. And yet to focus on a few headline figures is to ignore the broader trend: a slow and gradual raising of the temperature, a hardening of minds and a coarsening of conversation. What used to be considered beyond the pale is no longer, because we have lost any ability to decide collectively what the pale even is.
