Description
Get It On: How the '70s Rocked Football The 1970s marked a pivotal era in English football, with a new generation of larger-than-life players and managers emerging to dominate the sport. This book tells the story of how commercialism, innovation, racism, and hooliganism impacted the national game during this time. From the emergence of Brian Clough, Bob Paisley, and Kevin Keegan to the fall of George Best, Alf Ramsey, and Don Revie, Get It On charts the highs and lows of an evolutionary and revolutionary era for football. Set against a backdrop of significant social and cultural change, the book explores the complexities of the period, including three-day weeks, strikes, and the rise of glam rock. With its vivid portrayal of a bygone era, this book offers a fascinating insight into the history of English football in the 1970s.
