Description

Explore a different era of football with "When Footballers Were Skint: A Journey in Search of the Soul of Football." This award-shortlisted book takes readers back to a time before the age of multimillionaire players and TV mega-rights. It examines a period when footballing legends like Tom Finney and Stanley Matthews earned wages comparable to plumbers or electricians. This narrative traces the connection between players and the crowds they entertained. You will discover how the stars of the past lived a life of borderline penury, sharing a similar economic reality with their fans. The book provides a look at the game played on pitches that were a world away from the pristine lawns seen in the modern era. Perfect for sports historians and football fans, this work offers a deep look at the social history of the sport. It moves past the modern world of perma-tanned agents and gleaming sports cars to find the true essence of the game. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of football and the changing lives of its greatest players.
