What Was Football Like in the 1980s?

What Was Football Like in the 1980s? Richard Crooks's book provides a fascinating and insightful perspective on the game in a decade when football faced major challenges on and off the field. Richard's own memories and experiences are augmented by a wealth of research to bring you the definitive account of the clubs, players, managers, referees, grounds, crowds and competitions that defined '80s football. The book examines the Hillsborough, Heysel and Bradford fire tragedies, along with the increasingly commercialised aspects of the game and the evolution of televised football.

The scourge of hooliganism - which reached its height in the 1980s - is also given due consideration. What Was Football Like in the 1980s is an enthralling and illuminating account of a truly remarkable decade for the beautiful game, penned by a respected football author and journalist. How different was the sport 30 to 40 years ago? Richard Crooks gives you the answer, leaving no stone unturned.
