Description
My Father and Other Working-class Football Heroes is a poignant and moving account of the author's search for the man his father was and the life he led as a well-known footballer. Gary Imlach explores the highs and lows of his father's career, from his days as a talented but unrecognised player to his later years as a coach.
Through a series of key periods in his father's career, Imlach builds up a picture of his football life and, through him, a whole era. The book is a powerful exploration of the complexities of family relationships and the passing down of passions from one generation to the next.
With its unique blend of personal and historical narrative, My Father and Other Working-class Football Heroes is a deeply moving and thought-provoking read.
