Headhunters is the second novel by English author John King. Along with The Football Factory and England Away, it comprises The Football Factory Trilogy, a series that challenges the official position on subjects such as class, racism, sexism, and patriotism in the UK. First published in 1997 by Jonathan Cape and subsequently by Vintage, it has been widely translated abroad. The US edition (2016) includes an introduction by King—"In England's Fair City"—and the following quote by author Michael Moorcock: "John King is the authentic voice of contemporary London".
