This review is from: My Father and Other Working Class Football Heroes (Paperback)
Thought I'd help out with the ratings here given that Amazon would not change the other chap's message. Imlach's book really is tremendously well written. I loved it. It definitely belongs in the beautiful game book pantheon...

This review is from: My Father and Other Working Class Football Heroes (Paperback)
A great read if you're interested in how the game of football was run in England in the 1950s and the early 1960s and what it was like to be a professional footballer in this time period.

Wonderfully written, Imlach vividly captures the world of the British football player in the 1950's when players were virtually slaves to the football clubs who owned them. Well written sports books are few and far between, don't miss out on this one
should be 5 stars sorry the amazon ratings would not let me change it |
