Fathers Sons and Football

£4.99

Hardback
Condition: Good


The Summerbee family business is unique: three generations have played professional football - George in the 1930s was a struggling journeyman; Mike in the 1960s starred for England and Manchester City and George Best was his best man; Nicky currently plays for Bolton Wanderers. Colin Shindler weaves together their family story including the women closest to them in a remarkably evocative account of how football and the players have changed over the last 70 years from living alongside the fans earning similar amounts to the modern heroes who are paid fortunes and hide away in exclusive developments.
