Jumpers for Goalposts

How Football Sold Its Soul

This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.

Description

Jumpers For Goalposts is a fascinating reflection on the history of British soccer, which examines why the charm, innocence, and good humor has disappeared from today's game, compared to the golden days of yesteryear. Smyth considers everything from the huge wage bills, to players' lack of loyalty to their clubs, and their escapades off the pitch. He concludes that the true beauty of football is when it's at its simplest. Including anecdotes from players, past and present, and other sporting insiders, Jumpers For Goalposts is an exhaustive study of whether football has lost its charm—and, perhaps more importantly, whether it can ever get it back.

When Saturday Comes

This book was excellent. Touch a lot of the things are being talked about in a monthly basis on the greatest soccer magazine of all time. -See title. Some people may think the book as a whole it's a bit of a downer but for me, it is all spot on. If anything too short.
