'When a man walks on to a pitch there's always a chance something
magic can happen, that's what keeps us coming back...' In A Man
Walks On To a Pitch, Harry shares a lifetime's experience of
obsessing over football, during which he has seen it all first hand
- the good, the bad and the unbelievable. Harry started in an age
where players were ordinary blokes who might live on the same
street as you and earn a similar wage. Now he manages in an era of
player power, multi-million pound wages and teams assembled from
around the globe. As he shares stories of some of the legends and
journeymen he played, coached, argued and drank with, Harry picks a
team for each decade from the 1950s to the present. He gets to the
heart of what was right and wrong with each era and explores the
changes in the game from lifestyle to tactics. He weaves his
choices together with unforgettable tales from the training
pitches, boot rooms and card schools. There are tales of the
untutored genius of Duncan Edwards and Tom Finney, legendary tough
Scots like Bobby Collins, Dave Mackay and Billy Bremner, the
world-beaters of 1966, unpredictable one-off wizards from Sir
Stanley Matthews to Matt Le Tissier, natural-born goalscorers from
Greaves to Dalglish and the greatest foreign players to grace our
game from Trautmann to Bergkamp. It is one of the best informal
histories of the British game you'll ever read.
