The many tribulations and occasional triumphs of Cowdenbeath FC are set against the rise and decline of the local mining industry and beyond. To celebrate the coming of age of what has become a football cult classic, this brand new edition of Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil has an updated text and new chapters.
The new Introduction is by one of the book’s many fans and the biggest name in British football, Sir Alex Ferguson. This captivating word-of-mouth bestseller is invigorating – even for those who know nothing about Fife or football!
