My Father and other working class heroes by Gary Imlach
Gary Imlach is the guy who used to do the American Football on Channel4 back in the day when it was super-popular. His dad was Stewart Imlach who won the cup with Nottingham Forest in the 50s. If you look at the antics of modern footy players and despare then this book is a telling snapshot of how bad players had it back in the days of the maximum wages when the club basically owned the players.
It’s a brilliant, heartfelt, poigniant tribute to Stewart and the players of his generation by his son. It’s definitely my favourate sports book.
