Late December Back in '63 tells the story of an unforgettable day
in top-flight English football - when 66 goals were netted in just
ten fixtures on Boxing Day 1963. The author brings each match to
life through archive reports and images, exploring how such a
staggering tally of goals was scored. This was the age of attacking
formations, just before the era of more defensive disciplines, but
what other factors were at play? The book examines and tests the
veracity of various myths that surround that extraordinary day.
Along with club line-ups, match reports, programmes and images from
the fixtures, Late December Back in '63 takes an in-depth look at
the careers of the various characters who played their part. It
also offers a snapshot of where the national sport stood less than
20 years after World War 2 and the socio-economic changes taking
place in the 'Swinging Sixties'. You'll get a picture of the state
of the game less than three years before the summer of 1966 and how
our future World Cup heroes were doing in their careers.
