| Description: |
Jumpers For Goalposts is a fascinating reflection on the history of football, which examines why the charm, innocence and good humour has disappeared from today's game, compared to the golden days of yesteryear. |
| Synopsis: |
Jumpers for Goalposts is a fascinating and funny reflection on why football has changed so much since the inception of the Premier League in 1992, and why the old descriptions of "the beautiful game" and "the people's game" no longer fit.; Smyth & Turner look at all the things that have stripped the charm and innocence from football, a list that includes grotesque wages and transfer fees, diving, 4-5-1, TV overkill, political correctness - and the lack of decent moustaches.; With a wit and concern for the game we love, Jumpers for Goalposts is an engaging study of how football has sold its soul - and, perhaps more importantly, whether it can get it back. |
