Please read our about Wor Jakey (ED: Jacob Murphy) the other day, referenced one of my favourite football books, ‘Left Foot Forward’ by 80s-90s striker Garry Nelson.So here goes. There’s none of the ‘superstar ghost-written’ autobiographies here and I didn’t think there was much point mentioning any Newcastle United based books, as we’ll know them already.
Exposé of the money swirling down the plughole into the pockets of agents, dodgy managers and others. Venables, Redknapp and Monkey Heid come under particular scrutiny. Nothing changed, of course.Interviews a lot of those at the top of the game in the mid-60s in among his own thoughts, to show how the game fit in to the society of the time.Garry Nelson – Left Foot Forward and Left Foot in the Grave Some of you may remember Garry, a hard-working left-footed striker at Brighton and Charlton. . His books are diaries of a couple of seasons late in his career, the second one where he is player/assistant manager at Torquay. Warm and entertaining, the books give an idea of what life was like for such a player in the long-lost days of the 90s .The story of the life and playing career of Robin Friday, possibly the wildest of the wild 70s maverick footballers.It’s a great story, not least because of how his last game ended .Dunphy is a well-known controversial pundit, this book is about a season with Millwall in the old second division.I think this is inspired somewhat by The Football Man , not just UK-based, Kuper travels the world trying to find out how various nations’ football styles are dependent on national character.This is one of my favourite books. Buford, a US citizen living in the UK, becomes fascinated by football violence in the early 80s and decides to see it first hand.He starts off following Man Utd fans but don’t let that put you off.
