'This meticulously researched book cements Rory Magrath's position as a leading light in understanding the issues faced, and progress gained, by LGBT+ football fans. Magrath's text will be a 'go to' monograph in research on sports fandom, consumption and sexualities, appealing to scholars and students across interdisciplinary landscapes.'

Professor Peter Millward, Liverpool John Moores University, UK

'Rory Magrath's ground-breaking monograph is the first to provide an in-depth examination of LGBT fans' sense of place in contemporary football. Given its focus on gender, sexualities, fandom and community, this book will become a key reference point for scholars in a range of disciplines-as well as football fans.'

Professor Eric Anderson, University of Winchester, UK

'Covering a myriad of pertinent topic areas, this is a comprehensively constructed book that not only engages with the current literature, but also provides new data to advance the study of football and LGBT fans. The content is engaging and will be well received by students, scholars and other important stakeholders interested in this field of research.'
