Haynes When Football Was Football covers
When Football Was Football From the archives of the Daily Mirror

This superb series of books are about a rougher but better time, before satellite TV cameras, prawn sandwiches and six-figure weekly salaries.

They are about a time when the British appetite for football was just being whetted by newspapers action photographs and reports of upcoming matches, detailed reports and events on and off the pitch - football writers and match photographer were the ears and eyes of the thousands of fans that couldn't get to the match.

Each title takes you on a nostalgia photographic trip of the good old days of your favourite team; you'll find dirty shirts, team baths, lace-up boots, one-club men, supporters wearing flat caps and fedoras, and, somewhere in the pages you'll find the real heart of our game. Quite simply, it's about a time When Football Was Football.

With more than a dozen titles already published and more on the way. See list
