A brilliant read!,

This review is from: Viollet: The Life of a Legendary Goalscorer (Hardcover)
Dennis Viollet was a schoolboy hero. A Manchester lad, he was a fantastic player to watch but, as this book makes clear, perhaps underrated by press and public. Dennis, in the words of Matt Busby, 'made the Busby Babes tick' - his ability to switch play a vital part of that great United team's effectiveness. Nevertheless, this book does more than concentrate on Dennis. In many ways it tells the story not only of the Babes but fifties football in general. A period when Blackpool and Wolves were title challengers and players earned little more than the people who watched them. In this way Cavanagh and Hughes recall a golden era of boy's own heroes and dramatic football both before and after the abolition of the maximum wage. A superb read, this is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the attraction of football in the post-war period.
