Description

All Crazee Now: A Study of English Football in the 1970s The 1970s marked a pivotal decade in English football, laying the groundwork for the modern game. This period saw significant changes, including the rise of diverse teams, the growing influence of commercialism, and the emergence of the cult of the manager. The decade's impact can still be felt today, from the emphasis on victory to the shift away from individualism. As the decade progressed, the connection between fans and the game began to erode. By the dawn of the Thatcherite 1980s, the landscape had been forever altered, paving the way for the rapid evolution of football in the decades that followed. This book offers a nuanced exploration of the social, cultural, economic, and political factors that shaped the sport during a tumultuous period for the nation. Through a detailed examination of the period, All Crazee Now provides a rich understanding of the complex forces that have come to define English football.
