Download or read book The Boot Room Boys written by Peter Hooton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picture this: Saturday afternoons at Anfield, orange match balls, passionate terraces, a sea of red and Liverpool FC rules the world. The Boot Room story starts in 1959 when Bill Shankly arrived and converted a 12 x 12 storage room into a meeting place for him and his coaches, a move that had momentous consequences, both for the Club and British football. Fans on the Kop will remember the heart-stopping extra time of the 1965 FA Cup Final, and the jubilation of winning the treble in 1984. But what was the common thread during Liverpool's glory years? It was the Boot Room. Lifelong Liverpool supporter and editor of legendary fanzine The End, Peter Hooton takes us back into that old storage room, where first Shankly, then in succession Paisley, Fagan and Dalglish drank tea, analysed, strategised, selected and deselected, and built the most successful British club in Europe in the 20th Century. Illustrated throughout with over 100 powerful never-before-seen images from the Mirror's forgotten archives, The Boot Room Boys captures the story, as it unfolded, of Liverpool's conquering heroes.
Download or read book The Liverpool Boys Are in Town written by David Hewitson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents a youth culture that had a burgeoning start on the Football Terraces of Liverpool. Being a Season Ticket holder at Anfield in the late 1970s Dave is able to give a first hand account in the re-telling of the culture now known as Casuals. With quotes from fellow supporters, including Farm singer Peter Hooton and author Nicholas Allt, plus an intro from Head of adidas Global Marketing Gary Aspden, the adventurous tales of acquiring the latest trainers and coveted clothing is told in chronological order, from the earliest days of desiring the latest designer jeans from a local market before anyone else, to travelling abroad to get a pair of adidas trimm-trab trainers unavailable and too expensive for the UK market. The book looks at the European experience, a 'rite of passage' for many Liverpool teenagers in the days when Liverpool F.C. were the dominant force in European football. The look defined a Generation and has influenced the High Street to the extent that Sportswear and Trainers are sold in almost every Clothing Store. Sportwear has become Leisurewear for everyday use.

Download or read book My Family and Other Scousers written by Dave Joy and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evocative memoir recalls the long, heady days of Liverpool in the summer of 1969, as seen through the eyes of eleven-year-old Deejay. Infused with a distinctive Scouse sense of humour, this book tells the story of how Deejay filled his summer holiday having adventures – and misadventures – with his mischievous gang of young friends and working at Wellington Dairy, the family-owned, horse-drawn milk business located in the Liverpool suburb of Garston. Deejay intends to be the next in a long line of dairy farmers and sets about learning as much as he can about the family business. Amusing and entertaining, surprising and sometimes moving, Deejay's account vividly captures one boy's growing appreciation of the family history that preceded him and a growing understanding of his place in the world. Key to that understanding is the very special relationship that can exist between a boy and his dad.
Download or read book Liverpool Lad written by Peter Haase and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This memoir comes at you like a homespun but eloquent and funny missive from another world: the hardscrabble, life of post-World War II Liverpool. Peter Haase came through by riding his wits, humour, fast-talking and toughness to overcome poverty, a penchant for petty crimes and other hardships. My only gripe is that the book ends too soon." --Derek Lundy, author of Borderlands: Riding the Edge of America "A nostalgic treasure, Liverpool Lad is a coming-of-age tale and streetwise portrait of working-class life in post-war Britain's tough industrial north. No wonder many left for a better life in Australia, Canada and beyond. Anyone who watched Coronation Streetor rocked to the Mersey Sound will recognize these butcher-boy depictions of the everyday joys and hardships from Liverpool, the town where Marx failed and The Beatles prevailed. Peter Haase turns memory into melody. Here's the real deal." --Trevor Carolan, author of The Literary Storefront: The Glory Years, 1978-1985 A lively memoir in an authentic and engaging voice of growing up street savvy, the youngest of four boys, in the famous downtown working-class slums of Everton, Liverpool in the '50s and '60s before they were demolished. Our young hero is talented but his valiant attempts to "be good" sometimes fail because of violence, poverty, bullying teachers and other disasters. He loves music and fishing; accidently meets Beatles George and John; wins big on the Grand National; apprentices as a butcher boy; becomes a Mod; digs the Merseybeat, the Cavern Club and tailored suits. Before Liverpool's economic decline deepens, at 16, resilient raconteur and Scouser Peter and his family find a "way out" and emigrate to the Land of Oz.
