A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"With Christmas approaching our thoughts turn towards Canary based presents. Got, not got; the lost world of Norwich City is a series of vignettes that conjure up memories of a long lost past of rosettes, rattles and chewing gum card collections. It's full of lots of historic City based photographs including such evocative scenes as the interior of the City dressing room just after Steve Bruce's header against Ipswich had taken the Canaries to the 1985 Milk Cup Final. The photo captures a young fan sticking his head through the open window to shout his congratulations shortly before grabbing Louie Donowa's shirt and tie as a souvenir and disappearing into the night! While it might all seem rather alien to young fans, anyone who was around in the 70s and 80s will find it highly entertaining and I'll leave the last word on it to my favourite football magazine When Saturday Comes: 'The real magic is the collection and display of the illustrative material of stickers, badges, programme covers, Subbuteo figures and other ephemera. It is astonishingly thorough, well presented, inspired and indeed, had me going. Yes, got, got, not got, forgot, never seen!'" --CanariesTrust.org

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

"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

"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 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

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Got, Not Got: The Lost World of Norwich City is an Aladdin's cave of memories and memorabilia, guaranteed to whisk you back to Carrow Road's fondly remembered 'Golden Age' of mud and magic - as well as a Canaries-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 - Canaries stickers and petrol freebies, league ladders, big-match programmes and much more - revisiting lost football culture, treasures and pleasures that are 100 per cent Norwich City. If you're a lifelong Norwich fan, one of the army of obsessive soccer kids at any time from the Ron Saunders era to the early days of the Premier League, then this is the book to recall the mavericks - Fashanu, Fox and Peters, Townsend, Goss and Culverhouse - 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.
