Description: ALBION! ALBION! Dick Morland HC/DJ Faber and Faber 1974 First 1st SOCCER Title: ALBION! ALBION! Author: Dick Morland Publisher: Faber and Faber Condition Notes: Some wear and soiling. Small tears on the edges of the dust jacket. Remnants of a sticker with sticker lift on the front end paper. First Edition, 1974. The novel is set in a near-future (i.e., the early 1990s) UK. Morland posits that the economic travails of the 70s have, in the 80s, led to further breakdown of the social order, leading to ever more violent battles between small armies of football hooligans, the retreat of law and order, and the rise of a new class of politicians whose allegiance is to the football Clubs of their districts. By the early 90s, England’s increasingly enfeebled legal and political systems have been entirely overthrown, and the nation is divided into four quadrants.Each quadrant is governed by a different soccer Club: these are the United, City, Wanderers, and Athletic. Senior fans who came of age in the 70s and 80s are in charge of the Clubs, and rely on loose teams of hardcore hooligans, christened ‘Strikers’, to maintain order via brutal beatings..... and, frequently, murder........
