Get It On: How the 70's Rocked Football - Jon Spurling
A decade after the abolition of the maximum wage, a new generation of footballers and managers became 'personalities' in the brash new era of colour television. Set against a backdrop of 3 day weeks, strikes, political unrest, freezing winters and glam rock, 'Get It On' tells the fascinating inside story of how commercialism, innovation, racism and hooliganism rocked the national game in the '70s, and explores the ongoing conflict between non-conformist free thinkers (on and off the pitch) and football's traditionalists.
