Product Description
Charles Buchan's Football Monthly was Britain's first ever football 'glossy'. Packed with hand tinted photographs and celebrity articles, its arrival on the bookstands in September 1951 brought colour and glamour to the nation's football hungry public after years of wartime deprivation and austerity. At its peak in the late 1960s the magazine was sellilng 254,000 copies a week.
The Best of Charles Buchan's Football Monthly has been a best seller since its publication in 2006. Charles Buchan's Spurs Gift Book promises similar treats.
After an introduction by Simon Inglis, editor of the Played in Britain series, Spurs fan and celebrated journalist Julie Welch sets the scene: as the magazine launches in 1951 Spurs have just emerged from years in the Second Division to win the League title with their famous 'push and run' team, marshalled by a young Alf Ramsey. Later in the decade, under manager Bill Nicholson, a galaxy of great players come together to win the Double in 1961, the first time this feat has been accomplished since the 1890s. In Swinging Sixties London, White Hart Lane and its packed Shelf terrace become synonymous with flowing football served up with style.
Charles Buchan's Football Monthly spanned almost the entire Nicholson era, a period when Spurs won eight trophies in sixteen remarkable years, making this a book for all Tottenham fans to treasure.
Simon Inglis has many titles to his name. Engineering Archie (English Heritage) was runner up for the William Hill Sportsbook of the Year Award in 2005. His earlier book, The Football Grounds of Great Britain (Harper Collins) was selected by the Guardian's Frank Keating as the best sports books of the 20th century.
Author, journalist and broadcaster, Julie Welch came to fame in The Observer as Britain's first female football reporter. Her devotion to Spurs (and to Danny Blanchlower) was celebrated in her acclaimed Channel 4 screenplay Those Glory Glory Days. Books include Dangerous Dancing, Long Distance Information and 26.2: Running The London Marathon.
