The Sixties Revisited (Paperback)

the Sixties can justifiably claim to be the golden age of British football. england won the World Cup; Celtic Spurs and Manchester United became trailblazers in Europe and footballers became folk heroes - Denis Law, Bobby Charlton, Rodney Marsh, bobby Moore, George Best. At the start of the decade the most a player could earn was £20 a week; by the end the £500 a week footballer had arrived. Jimmy Greaves was himself one of the great heroes of the decade and provides a uniquely personal view of the events in which he was involved, including the fun days with Chelsea, his disastrous move to AC Milan, the disappointment of being left out of the World Cup Final and the elation of being part of the first British club to win a European competition.
