When Football was Football
A nostalgic look at a century of Football. Before the 1960s and the first $160 a week footballer (Johnny Haynes--now there's a coincidence!) football was the preserve of the working man who attended matches in vast numbers. It was a working class pursuit and one that attracted people through a fierce tribalism and loyalty to 'your team'. With the advent of footballers being paid well above the national wage, it has gone from being a sport to a business. When Football was Football is a fully illustrated book that takes us through the Century of English football from the photographic and the written archives of the Daily Mirror.
