«When Footballers Were Skint» is an essay on football history by Jon Henderson, published by Biteback Publishing in paperback (in English).
Before football became a million-pound business, players' wages were capped and stars barely earned more than any ordinary worker. The book gathers testimonies from British footballers who travelled to matches on public transport, lived in modest houses, and shared the lives of their fans.
The subtitle is «A Journey in Search of the Soul of Football». It was shortlisted for the Telegraph Sports Book Awards 2019.
For football fans interested in the history of the sport and the lives of British players before the era of big salaries.
