Towns of Two Halves extracts:
● “Sheffield, like any city built upon hills, stops counting at seven.”
● “It’s no accident that Sheffield United are known as the Blades, and to their detractors as the Blunts”
● “In football, a ‘sleeping giant’ is the cliché applied to clubs that, were they not confined by incompetence to the lower leagues, would surely attract larger attendances to top-flight matches than do the likes of, say, Bournemouth or Watford. It is a versatile, multi-purpose designation that patronises two sets of clubs at once.”
