London is a city of clubs, colours, and centuries-old loyalties-but its fiercest football battles have often played out far from the Premier League spotlight. Borough Wars uncovers the true story of the rivalries that run deeper than league tables and television cameras. From the blood-and-grit clashes of South London to the historic tensions between working-class Fulham and their glamorous neighbours at Stamford Bridge, this is a book about identity, territory, and what it means to belong.
Told through gripping narrative, richly drawn characters, and meticulous historical detail, the book explores how borough lines shaped club allegiances, how groundshares and relocations fractured communities, and how grassroots and non-league football stoked passions just as fierce as anything at Wembley. It spans abandoned stadiums, chants born on the terraces, and the symbolic power of bus routes and postcodes.
This is not a story of "big six" dominance-but of Hackney Marshes, The Valley, Plough Lane, and Selhurst Park. Borough Wars is a love letter to the rivalries that made London a football city like no other.
