In August 1992, English football experienced a seismic change, with the inaugural season of the Premier League. A new era was underway. For one club – Liverpool Football Club – the following quarter of century featured an almost unremitting series of highs and lows. A Banquet Without Wine traces that turbulent journey through the people – players, managers and owners – the games, the trophies and agonising near-misses, a court case and near-administration, a miracle in Istanbul and much more. In the skilled hands of author Anthony Stanley, it builds into a passionate, lyrical and encyclopaedic record of that era for one of the world's most iconic football clubs.
