Jon Spurling-A Chapter Of My Life
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Paul chats to Jon about his new book "Go To War: Football on the Brink in the ’80s"
Set against a backdrop of economic recession, rampant hooliganism and suspect fashion, Go To War tells the story of how triumph and tragedy shaped English football during the 1980s. It was a decade in which some fans died watching the game they loved, and at times, the ‘slum sport’ seemed set to implode. Yet, remarkably, the game was on the cusp of morphing into the behemoth it has become today.
