Black diamonds & the Blue Brazil : a chronicle of coal, Cowdenbeath and football
Ferguson, Ron, 1939-2014
Books, Manuscripts
This is a book about much, much more than football. Cowdenbeath's story is set against the rise and decline of the local mining industry and the life after mining. It is very funny, deeply spiritual, moving and also a little bit political. But what makes it so interesting is the uplifting story of a real community spirit throughout all the ups and downs of the town, and a football club that's at its social heart and core.
