"David Bolchover has reshaped my view of Jews, of football and of murder. Don't miss this book." -- Daniel Finkelstein , associate editor, The Times "Meticulously researched and elegantly crafted, Digging Deep serves both as a profoundly moving tribute and as a salutary reminder - at this dangerous moment of rising antisemitism - to keep the memory of these murdered Jewish players alive." -- Oliver Brown , chief sports writer, The Telegraph "A team of forgotten heroes and a series of careers that have become secret histories. David Bolchover has written an enthralling, harrowing, uplifting book that follows some of the greatest Jewish players in football history to their fates and, by telling their stories so vividly and meticulously, brings them new life." -- Oliver Holt , chief sports writer, The Mail "An eye-opening account of the pivotal role Jews played in the history of European football - and of how the Holocaust erased not only so very many lives, but also an entire sporting legacy from memory." -- Toby Young , associate editor, The Spectator.
