Written with a genuine passion for the game, ‘The Away Game’ gets beyond the usual stories and takes us to the should of Australians plying their trade overseas as professional footballers from the English Premier League to the Bundesliga, and from Serie A to Wollongong. Hall travelled around the world for more than a year meeting everyone from players whose names are not known struggling in little known competitions, through to multimillion dollar superstars such as Mark Viduka and Harry Kewell. First published in 2000, this 20th anniversary edition contains an updated Introduction from author Matthew Hall, an updated Epilogue as well as a new photographic collection.
