Injury time : football in a state of emergency / David Goldblatt.

London : Mudlark, 2025.

368 pages ; 24 cm

In 2014, David Goldblatt published 'The Game of Our Lives', an exhaustive and critically-acclaimed 'state of the nation' account of the UK told through the prism of football. Fast forward 10 years and Goldblatt returns with a new state of the nation book that examines British society and culture through football at perhaps the most perilous time in modern history. Split into three parts, 'Injury Time' explores Brexit, Covid and the 'polycrisis' of today (a tanking economy, European wars, political uncertainty and climate change) through the prism of football and posits the game as the most illuminating guide to the state of the nation today.
