Football used to be better in the past - and here's the proof. Got,
Not Got focuses on British football's apparent lost Utopia of the
'60s, '70s and '80s - the fondly remembered 'Golden Age' of
mudbaths and cloggers, of miniature, carpet-level games and
imaginary, comic-fuelled worlds. It evokes the feel and smell of
football past, its rituals and relics. But there's more to the
agreeably grumpy authors' vision than a hilarious,
heartstring-tugging celebration of everything we miss in modern
football. Here are hundreds of beautiful images of a lost football
culture, pin-sharp observations and memories shared by generations
of fans - in all, an ideal blueprint to help restore the game to
its former glories! This Aladdin's cave of memorabilia brings back
the magic of league ladders and dogs on the pitch, sock tags and
the magic sponge - and was runner-up in the BSBA Book of the Year
Awards 2012.
There's far more to vintage football programmes than optimistic
manager's notes, unreliable teamsheets and grudging opposition 'pen
pictures'. Before the era of the standardised corporate brochure,
every club's programme had a different, unique personality, and
played its part in the precious ritual of going to the match. Last
weekend's action shots provided a foretaste of the excitement; the
A-Z scoresheet provided a live lookout on the rest of the League,
while 'At Home With - ' provided a peephole into a star's domestic
life. Remember the allure of the Souvenir Shop ads? Football League
Review centrespreads? 'Girl of the Match'? From the 'ground
picture' cover era through the 'groovy' and 'colour action' phases
to the dawn of clipart, programmes from our nostalgic 60s-90s
Golden Age amount to a (slightly crumpled) pocket history of
graphic design. Packed with pictures and memories, Fully Programmed
offers an irresistible window back into more innocent times.

Return to The Lost World of Football through this Aladdin's cave of

one of the army of obsessive soccer kids at any time from England's
World Cup win to the dawn of the Premiership, you'll be relieved to

Melchester Rovers are back and here to stay. Flankers with
triangular sideboards, petrol freebies and gluey sticker albums

to The Lost World of Football than a giant Kays catalogue of
unforgettable football culture, clutter and wistful yearning. Here

Football fans love nothing more than faded Polaroids of crumbling
grounds, distant players toiling in mud and fences topped with
razor-sharp spikes - all snapped from the terraces in the belief
that the results would prove worthy of the back page when they
arrived back from the developers. At least, that's certainly true
of fans of a certain vintage. When '70s and '80s snapshots taken
from the stands and terraces were posted on the Got, Not Got blog,
traffic tripled overnight and floods of snaps were mailed in from
all over Britain. The artistic value of the pics is hilariously
mixed, featuring the overexposed back of many a feather cut. But
for the kids pictured here in full kit in their back gardens - now
grown men - these blurred images of star wingers, knitwear,
floodlights and inflatables offer an evocative window into a Lost
World of Football - from a fans' eye view.

At last, a chance for football fans of a certain vintage to sigh
nostalgically over the muddy magnificence of some proper footy
kits. Many fans still harbour an unfading love for their clubs'
classic shirts, as sported by their childhood heroes. And - whisper
it - even for some of their rivals' timelessly classy (and less
well-considered) gear. The Golden Age of Kits stretches from the
1960s round-collared cotton shirts via the bold new designs of the
1970s - enter the Admiral logo, Umbro diamonds and Adidas stripes -
and selectively on through the 1980s. Remember Hummel testcard
kits? There were even some crackers in the early days of the
