Description

Eddie Hapgood Footballer is a remarkable story about a young footballer from Bristol who rose to become Arsenal and England captain in the 1930s. His impact on the sport was so profound that, decades later, he was voted one of the greatest sportsmen of the century by the public. Hapgood's approach to football was unique - he saw it as an art form, played with joy and passion as part of a team. However, his career was also marked by challenges, including the threat of politics, class divisions, and financial corruption that sought to undermine him and taint the sport. This book tells the story of Hapgood's journey, from his early days as an unknown player to his rise to national hero status, and explores the complexities of a man who struggled to balance his love of football with the darker forces that surrounded it.
