Football ground historian and amateur photographer Leon Gladwell offers a bucket list of places to watch football in Europe. This first-of-its-kind book introduces the reader to a diverse and often breathtaking range of venues.

Gladwell made 71 journeys across Europe, from Armenia to the Arctic Circle, clocking up more than 130,000 miles by public transport.

This unique project tells both the visual and written stories of the stadiums and the people who made them, painting a vivid picture of European football in the 21st century and the history it has managed to hold on to.

From iconic World Cup stadiums to forgotten communist super bowls, simple football pitches at the edge of civilisation to the downright eccentric, Gladwell takes us on a compelling journey to uncover the diverse character of the homes of European football.

Part guide, part love letter to the history, people and places that showcase the best of Europe's football landscape, this book is sure to leave you planning a future football trip.

Leon Gladwell is the author of Beyond the Turnstiles and has written for Copa90, 11Freunde and Santos. His football photography has been exhibited in the UK and the Netherlands.
