Much of my knowledge of locations in Britain and Europe comes not from school, but from away games or the sports pages, and hooliganism has given me both a taste for sociology and a degree of fieldwork experience.
(0 Reviews)

In his book "Fever Pitch," Nick Hornby reflects on how his understanding of various places in Britain and Europe has largely been shaped by attending away games rather than formal education. He suggests that the experiences and cultures encountered during these outings have provided a rich learning opportunity that textbooks could not offer.

Hornby also touches on the topic of hooliganism, indicating that it has sparked his interest in sociology. The chaos and dynamics of fan culture have allowed him to engage in a unique form of fieldwork, enhancing his insights into social behavior and community identity within the sports context.
