My Father And Other Working-Class Football Heroes - Hardback - Gary Imlach
Stuart Imlach played football in the last days of the maximum wage, when footballers were serfs at the mercy of their clubs and when the men who played the game and those who watched it led fundamentally the same lives in the same communities. His son recaptures that era, barely comprehensible 40 years on, and the way it changed.
