Product details
- Celebrate the once must-have printed companion to the beautiful game, the football programme
- 1 Shilling: The Football Programme Design Revolution of 1965-85 promises to "break new ground as it digs deep into the rich history of an astonishing era of football programme design" and uncover the stories of their creators
- The book features stunning programme designs from more than 40 British Football League clubs. It’s a visual treat transporting us back to a time when a new generation of designers had burst on the scene fresh out of art school, and off the football terraces. They wielded a new visual language – creating covers and layouts which rebelled against club's chairmen, with typefaces sampled from the album sleeves of their favourite bands
- In a collection of essays, 1 Shilling explores the wider cultural, economic and political backstory of British football over a transformative two decades from the mid-1960s. The book gets to the core of the ritual which saw fans buying programmes that were read at the match, in the pub, at home - and often treasured for years and years
- The book also boasts Alan Dein as co-author, an oral historian and award-winning radio documentary presenter
