What is Boots, Balls and Haircut : an Illustrated History of Football from Then to Now about?

Who doesn't remember Kevin Keegan's haircut? Or David Seaman's? Or David Beckham's latest...? From the history of the ball to the history of football haircuts, this book examines every facet of football beyond the rule and goals to the fans, commentators, merchandise, books and even art it has inspired. It provides the reader with more than goal averages and statistics, concentrating on the real living history of football, and how the people, both players and supporters, and their desire to see a win for the home side has spawned an industry and a culture reaching far beyond the pitches both in Britain and worldwide. "Boots, Balls and Haircuts" takes the feeling that urged the laying-on of hands for Beckham's left foot and puts it into words, showing how, and why, the world has come to love this game with such passion and dedication. Football equipment; football crowds; football players; football merchandising; football souvenirs; football reporting; football books; football abroad; football and art; foreign footballers; black footballers; women in football.
