This is a unique and magnificent collection of photographs of
Manchester City FC from the early 1900s up until just before the
Millennium, selected from the Daily Mirror's extensive archive.
Capturing the very essence of this famous old club and its
supporters, When Football Was Football harks back to a bygone era
when life - and the game - seemed much simpler. From the club's
glory years and numerous cup triumphs, to kids on the street having
a knockabout outside Maine Road - this is a pictorial book like no
other, sprinkled with rarely-told stories and tales of how a small
amateur football club became one of the game's major powers. But
this isn't page after page of images you've seen a dozen times
before. This book is a rich tapestry of people, players and
experiences, good, bad or otherwise. In stark contrast to today's
carefully controlled environment top footballer's operate within,
there are pictures of the Blues' first team training on a wet car
park before the Manchester derby, Bert Trautmann signing an
autograph on a deserted London street and shots of the people who
really made this club - its magnificent supporters. Black and white
images from decades ago, glorious colour photos from the sixties
and seventies and beyond, this is a book every City fan simply must
own.
