4.9/5 (15020 ratings)

Description:A decade after the abolition of the maximum wage, a new generation of footballers and managers became ‘personalities’ in the brash new era of colour television. Set against a backdrop of 3 day weeks, strikes, political unrest, freezing winters and glam rock, Get It On tells the fascinating inside story of how commercialism, innovation, racism and hooliganism rocked the national game in the '70s, and explores the ongoing conflict between non - conformist free thinkers (on and off the pitch) and football’s traditionalists. It charts the emergence of Brian Clough, Bob Paisley and Kevin Keegan, and the fall of George Best, Alf Ramsey and Bill Shankly.Jon Spurling has been interviewing footballers for 25 years, including off the cuff talents like George Best, Rodney Marsh, Alan Hudson and Stan Bowles, European Cup winning captains John McGovern and Emlyn Hughes, FA Cup heroes Jim Montgomery, Ronnie Radford and Roger Osborne, pioneering black footballers Cyrille Regis and Brendon Batson and Dutch imports Arnold Muhren and Frans Thijssen. Together with the recollections of impresarios and entrepreneurs like photographer Terry O’Neill, TV mogul Jimmy Hill and Admiral’s Bert Patrick, who helped create the distinctive ‘70s vibe, Spurling has pooled hours of interviews and meticulously constructed an intimate and unvarnished story of the most ground-breaking decade in English football history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
