The Lost World of Football: From the Writers of Got, Not Got

by Derek Hammond, Gary Silke

Overview

Return to The Lost World of Football through this Aladdin’s cave of memories and memorabilia, guaranteed to whisk you back to the magical atmosphere of a more innocent era of soccer. If you were one of the army of obsessive soccer kids at any time from England’s World Cup win to the dawn of the Premiership, you’ll be relieved to hear that the cool kits and tabletop games, the mud, mavericks, and Melchester Rovers are back and here to stay. Flankers with triangular sideboards, petrol freebies, and gluey sticker albums will soon once again be flickering past your senses like your long-lost videos of the Sunday soccer highlights. But there’s more to The Lost World of Football than a giant Kays catalogue of unforgettable soccer culture, clutter, and wistful yearning. Here are countless tried-and-tested methods to leave the 21st century behind and revisit your own soccer Golden Age!
