Do you remember a time when footballers' perms were tighter than their shorts? When supporters still swayed on terraces? When a chain-smoking doctor played central midfield for Brazil? Take a nostalgic stroll back to an era when football on TV was still an occasional treat, when almost anyone could finish runners-up to Liverpool and when finishing fourth in the top flight was not a cause for celebration but a sackable offence! Football in the 1980s is an affectionate look at all the essential facts, stats and anecdotes from the decade before the national game was commercially rebranded. Including both some of modern football's darkest days and its most memorable matches, Football in the 1980s will take you back to a time of tough tackles, muddy pitches and cheap seats. Read on for a grandstand view . . .

What Was Football Like in the 1980s? provides a fascinating and insightful perspective on the game in a decade when football faced major challenges on and off the field. The author's own memories and experiences are augmented by a wealth of research to bring you the definitive account of the clubs, players, managers, referees, grounds, crowds and competitions that defined '80s football. The book examines the Hillsborough, Heysel and Bradford fire tragedies, along with the increasingly commercialised aspects of the game and the evolution of televised football. The scourge of hooliganism - which reached its height in the 1980s - is also given due consideration. What Was Football Like in the 1980s? is an enthralling and illuminating account of a truly remarkable decade for the beautiful game, penned by a respected football author and journalist. How different was the sport 30 to 40 years ago? Richard Crooks gives you the answer, leaving no stone unturned.

The 1980s are remembered as a bleak time in the history of English football. Dismissed as a time the game was blighted by hooliganism and tragedy. Since the advent of the Premier League in 1992, it's easy to forget that going to the match before then was still a hugely enjoyable experience, accessible and affordable to all. With new, modern, often soulless, identikit stadiums now commonplace, also forgotten are the unique stands, terraces, facades and features that gave every club its own identity. This book unearths a huge, previously unseen treasure trove of images from that forgotten era. An era that was, until now, lost.

Match magazine is far and away the biggest selling football magazine for boys; but the success story began all the way back in 1979 -- when the 300,000 parents who buy the Match Annual every year for their children, were football-mad children themselves... Match: Best of the '80s is a funny, fond look back through the Match archives at a decade of big football stories, and even bigger mullets... From the great British triumphs in Europe (Liverpool and Aston Villa), to the classic world cups in Spain and Mexico, to regular columns from Kevin Keegan and Glenn Hoddle, this is the perfect accompaniment to the bestselling children's Annual: the chance to tick several generations of your family off the Christmas list at the same time!

Ablett, Brereton, Matthews, Bartlett, Doull, DiPierdomenico, Lockett, Barassi, Hafey, Jeans, Sheedy and Dyer. Just some of the names who made 1980s football a sight (and sound) to behold. If the 1970s was the decade the game went technicolour, the 80s - spanning from the dying days of Richmond’s golden era, through the rise of Allan Jeans’ indestructible Hawks and Kevin Sheedy’s brilliant Bombers, and culminating in the peerless 1989 Grand Final - was heaven for footy purists. In Electrifying 80s, all the outsized characters and eye-popping events of a colourful football decade are brought back to life in the words of an equally impressive cast of football writers, including Mike Sheahan, Trevor Grant, Martin Flanagan, Garrie Hutchinson, Scot Palmer, Garry Linnell and Caroline Wilson. If the action on the field was memorable, so too was the writing of a richly talented and innovative generation of sports journalists. Trawling through a decade of the best writing in the major Melbourne newspapers, editor Russell Jackson has collected the profiles, match reports, columns and feature articles that explain one of the most eventual 10-year stretches in AFL history. Moving from the boardrooms of a financially stricken game, to the windswept terraces of the suburban stadiums which still endured, and into the middle of the ground among a host of all-time greats, readers will delight in the crunching tackles, soaring marks and shocking antics. Reviving memories of cult heroes like Rene Kink, Mark ‘Jacko’ Jackson, Peter Bosustow, Billy Duckworth, Vinny Catoggio, Leon Baker and Warwick Capper, Electrifying 80s is the perfect piece of nostalgia for lovers of the game who cherished the days of flawed heroes, lukewarm pies and the crumbling splendour of the suburban outer, where myths and legends were born.

During the 1980s, Liverpool Football Club dominated English football, winning six league titles, two European Cups, two FA Cups and four League Cups. In Red Machine, Simon Hughes interviews some of the most colourful characters to have played for the club during that period. The resulting interviews, set against the historical backdrop of both the club and the city, provide a vivid portrait of life at Liverpool during an era when the club’s unparalleled on-pitch success often went hand in hand with a boozy social scene fraught with rows, fights and wind-ups. The players featured here include John Barnes, Bruce Grobbelaar, Howard Gayle, Michael Robinson, John Wark, Kevin Sheedy, Nigel Spackman, Steve Staunton, David Hodgson and Craig Johnston, as well as first-team coach Ronnie Moran. Their candid, ribald and sometimes scathing recollections provide an antidote to the media-coached, on-message interviews given by today’s players and combine to offer a unique insight to this exciting time in the club’s history.

Think of the 1980s and one sport springs to mind - American football! When Channel Four first screened the sport in November 1982, they kick-started a decade-long boom in the sport in the UK. Touchdown UK looks at the history of the sport before that historic first screening, what happened to make the sport so popular between 1983-1993 and what happened when the excitement died down. Author Nick Richards has spoken to players, coaches and Air Force men who have played the game in the UK and focuses mainly on that ten year period when no sport in the country could touch gridiron for its sheer glamour.

For Everton FC, the 1980s were the most successful decade in the club’s history. It was a time when Wembley became a second home for Howard Kendall’s band of brothers as they stepped out from Liverpool’s long shadow to take their neighbours’ mantle as the country’s best team, winning two league titles, an FA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup. In Here We Go, Simon Hart interviews some of the Blues’ best-loved players from that era – along with the most controversial and the unsung heroes too – to provide a vivid, colourful portrait of a period when a group of unheralded young footballers came together to achieve something special with a rare, intoxicating mix of raw talent and team spirit. The players featured include Kevin Ratcliffe, Adrian Heath, Gary Lineker, Pat van den Hauwe, Mark Higgins, Kevin Richardson, Paul Power and Pat Nevin, along with Colin Harvey, Kendall’s No2 during the glory days and subsequently manager himself by the decade’s end. Thirty years on from Everton’s last championship-winning campaign of 1986/87, they remember the Wembley highs and heartbreaks, and the epic derby duels in an age when Merseyside, for all its troubles, stood at the very forefront of English football. They also recall the boozy nights, the bold pranks and the bad haircuts, and their recollections capture just what it meant to be a footballer in a dramatic decade for the English game. Together they explain not only the Blues’ rise to greatness but the decline that gradually set in after their European exile; they also offer a nostalgia-laden celebration of the team- building skills of the man who made it possible: the late, great Howard Kendall.
