Transatlantic Passage goes in depth and behind the scenes with the biggest figures in the beautiful game, showcasing how and why the world’s most popular sports league and the global economy’s biggest consumer market came together despite being an ocean away.
Transatlantic Passage provides the how and why America embraced a sport that’s played on the other side of the world. Featuring exclusives from the likes of Harry Kane, Christian Pulisic, Ian Rush, Tim Howard, Gregg Berhalter, and Alex Morgan. It’s a book that explains why Americans get up early to pack pubs at 6AM to watch a sporting event an ocean away.
Paul M. Banks has been there first hand for memorable press conference moments with the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Sir Alex Ferguson, and been at Anfield and Old Trafford for some of the most historical days these storied venues have ever seen. This book tells their stories, but also the tales of the everyday supporter and match goer, in a way that’s extremely irreverent, and more colorful than one could possibly expect.
