A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"The authors have tapped into a rich vein of nostalgia by identifying the kind of memorabilia we will all have had at one time or another. I found myself transported back to my earlier days of watching football, swapping cards in the school playground and collecting autographs at the ground. Lovely books and they really have hit on a good formula. If they've done one for your club it's well worth the outlay to buy it - you might well find your own collection is not as complete as you once imagined it to be." --Programme Monthly & Football Collectable

"There's a whole series of books called Got, Not Got: brilliant books looking back at old football memorabilia." --James Brown, talkSPORT

"The Got Not Got books play it simple, to devastating effect. Long-forgotten childhood joys unexpectedly come flooding back." --Sunday Mirror Booked! - Football Books of the Month

"The English publisher Pitch Publishing provides a series of books with a clear penchant for soccer romance. It covers the period from 1960 to 1990, when the commercial monstrosity of the Champions League so it was not yet invented. The books are treasure chests of memories and memorabilia, such as badges, football towns, programs, shirts, scarves, long-playing plates and old elftal and stadium photos." --Panenka magazine, Holland

"The strength of this book is its illustrations, and it will appeal to a certain generation, accurately described on the cover as a Junior Blue, one of the army of obsessives when Joe Mercer's lads won the League." --Programme Monthly & Football Collectable

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Got, Not Got: The Lost World of Manchester City is an Aladdin's cave of memories and memorabilia, guaranteed to whisk you back to Maine Road's fondly remembered 'Golden Age' of mud and magic - as well as a City-mad childhood of miniature tabletop games and imaginary, comic-fuelled worlds. The book recalls a more innocent era of football, lingering longingly over relics from the good old days - Blues stickers and petrol freebies, league ladders, big-match programmes and much more - revisiting lost football culture, treasures and pleasures that are 100 per cent Manchester City. If you were a Junior Blue, one of the army of obsessive soccer kids at any time from when Joe Mercer's lads won the league to the early days of the Premier League, then this is the book to recall the mavericks - Marsh and Bell, Summerbee, Tueart and White - and the marvels of the Lost World of Football.

Also by the authors: Shirt Tales & Short Stories, The Lost World of Football, What a Shot! and Got, Not Got.
