Grandad, What Was Football Like in the 1970s?

About this book

Grandson Charlie attending a Championship game at Hillsborough prompts Richard Crooks to think about football and what it was really like in the 1970s. The game, and all that goes with it—in essence, what following football was all about in the 1970s.  Grandad, What Was Football Like in the 1970s? will rekindle those memories of a decade of change.
