Got, Not Got

The A–Z of Lost Football Culture, Treasures and Pleasures

Derek Hammond , Gary Silke
Muddy pitches, trading cards and teams that wore the numbers 1 to 11 are all remembered in this humorous celebration of pre-Premier League era British football. Aimed at fans whose love of the game dates back to childhoods in the 1970s and 1980s, the highly illustrated pages bring to mind the world of Subbuteo, Shoot magazine and Huntley and Palmer's Cheese Footballs.

Full publisher description
Football used to be better in the past - and here's the proof. Got, Not Got focuses on British football's apparent lost Utopia of the '60s, '70s and '80s - the fondly remembered 'Golden Age' of mudbaths and cloggers, of miniature, carpet-level games and imaginary, comic-fuelled worlds. It evokes the feel and smell of football past, its rituals and relics. But there's more to the agreeably grumpy authors' vision than a hilarious, heartstring-tugging celebration of everything we miss in modern football. Here are hundreds of beautiful images of a lost football culture, pin-sharp observations and memories shared by generations of fans - in all, an ideal blueprint to help restore the game to its former glories! This Aladdin's cave of memorabilia brings back the magic of league ladders and dogs on the pitch, sock tags and the magic sponge - and was runner-up in the BSBA Book of the Year Awards 2012.
