Synopsis:
Jumpers For Goalposts is a fascinating reflection on the history of British soccer, which examines why the charm, innocence, and good humor has disappeared from today's game, compared to the golden days of yesteryear. Smyth considers everything from the huge wage bills, to players' lack of loyalty to their clubs, and their escapades off the pitch. He concludes that the true beauty of football is when it's at its simplest. Including anecdotes from players, past and present, and other sporting insiders, Jumpers For Goalposts is an exhaustive study of whether football has lost its charm—and, perhaps more importantly, whether it can ever get it back.
About the Author:
Rob Smyth is an experienced sports journalist who writes for the Guardian, Wisden Cricketer, The Economist, and many other newspapers and magazines. His first book, The Spirit of Cricket was published in 2010.
