Recensioner i media

"Rivals! is a thorough and immensely entertaining read. Davies writes in clear language without sacrificing the subtleties and complexities of the topics he engages. Indeed, Davies' study showed me how much I still have to learn about rivalries that, before encountering his work, I thought I understood quite well. Furthermore, and perhaps most important, Rivals! provides a foundation on which other studies of the sports rivalry can build." (Journal of Sports History, 1 April 2011) "This is the perfect book for any sports fan. If you're not a huge sports fan, it would make a great Father's Day gift, or a great gift for your teenager who wants to learn more about the history of teams." ( KatieTalksAbout.com , May 2010)
