«La traversa spezzata. 4 giugno 1977: gli scozzesi conquistano Londra» is the sports novel by Antonello Cattani, in paperback (162 pages, in Italian).
The work recalls 4 June 1977, when the Scottish fans, the 'Tartan Army', festively occupied London and Wembley Stadium during the match against England. Between reality and fantasy, the narrative interweaves Scottish identity with historical battles such as Stirling, Bannockburn or Culloden; in that struggle against the 'Saxon giant', a crossbar ends up breaking, and the reader will discover its meaning for Scotland's memory.
With a foreword by Paolo Gulisano, it was published in 2020 by Gianluca Iuorio Urbone Publishing.
For football fans, followers of the Scottish national team and readers of sports fiction with a historical background.
