Super Squad is a collection of heartfelt messages that pays tribute to those twenty three footballers in the 60s and 70s who paved the way for football as it is today.
Super Squad tells the story of those 23 footballers in the 1960s and 70s, who had the greatest influence on English football; and how that influence laid the path for football as it is today. Football fans of the time witnessed the English First Division produce the two greatest English players and the two greatest Scottish players ever - and one George Best. But we also witnessed the ‘pioneers’; those players who did something for the very first time.
The book deals with the significance of the abolition of the ‘maximum wage’ and the almost immediate effect it had on the game, the salaries and transfer fees. The book also touches upon the huge influence of television – both colour and black and white - during this time.
This isn’t just the story of those players, who stood out through their greatness alone. This is also the story about the players who were overlooked, the players who were unfairly mocked and the players who were forgotten - Super Squad seeks to honour their legacy.
