Brilliantly encapsulates an era December 16, 2008
G. A. Ross
Primarily a loving tribute to a bygone age of English football, this marvellous book also evocatively brings to life the music, movies,and fashions of the 1970s. It also reminds those of us who were teenagers at the time that we never had it so good. Rob Steen loves his subject and loves the era. He celebrates the talents of Osgood, Hudson, Worthington etc but laments the fact that the people who ran the English game deemed their skills unworthy of building an England team around. And I write this as a Scot! A brilliant read, highly recommended.
A laugh a minute March 27, 2006
Mr. IR Langmaid (Lincoln United Kingdom)
I got this book out of the country library here in Lincoln and when I first scanned read I thought I would enjoy this and I was proved right. It was very funny with various antics of the footballing mavericks especially in one incident the legendary Tony Currie a man who should have had more then 17 caps and is now running youth development for his beloved Blades. Once took the ball with his back to goal. flicked up into the air when the first tackle came back tackler ended up on his back. Currie takes the ball back down on his foot and starts blowing kisses to the crowd. Then another tackler comes diving in Currie drags back second tackler also ends up on his arse Currie blows more kisses to the Bramall Lane faithfuThe cheeky swine! But that was the pure brilliance and arrogance and the author loves his mavericks and he does feel rightly agreived about the fact no England manager had the courage to play Frank Worthington, Rodney Marsh, Currie and Peter Osgood!. Just 3 or 4 games. We would have won the world cup if we had these mavericks playing!!. The author is hysterial and laid back in his style of writing which makes it a joy to read.
