Got, Not Got focuses on British football's apparent lost utopia of the 1960s, 70s and 80s - the golden age of mudbaths and cloggers, of miniature, carpet-level and table football games and imaginary, comic-book worlds. A big, beautiful nostalgia that is a passionate fans blueprint to help restore the game to its former glories!
Football used to be better in the past...and here's the proof. Got, Not Got focuses on British football's apparent lost utopia of the 1960s, 70s and 80s - the fondly remembered golden age of mudbaths and cloggers, of miniature, carpet-level and table football games and imaginary, comic-book worlds. It evokes the feel and smell of football past, its rituals and relics. But there's more to the grumpy authors' vision than a hilarious, heartstring-tugging celebration of everything we miss in modern football. Here are hundreds of beautiful images of a lost football culture, pin-sharp observations and memories shared by generations of fans - in all, an ideal blueprint to help restore the game to its former glories!
