Hard Tackles and Dirty Baths: The Inside Story of Footballs Golden Era

A history of football of the period that saw the abolition of the maximum wage, and the beginnings of the likes of George as boot-room apprentices to the star-studded era of sideburns, collar-length hair. This book follows the drama of each season (1963 to 1973) in league, cup and abroad, pondering the key themes from each year.

Summary

'We were the first generation to have to deal with the modern stardom of football. Some handled it better than others' George Best. Written in the months before he died, Hard Tackles and Dirty Baths is George's farewell letter to the great footballing era in which he burned so brightly - a personal history of the golden years before TV and agents changed everything. From the breaking of the maximum wage to the cusp of the first million-pound player, it follows the triumphs and tragedies of every season from 1960 to 1974. It is the story of our greatest footballing generation - Greaves, Moore, Law, Charlton, Osgood, Lorimer, Jennings, Hurst and, of course, Best himself.
