From Father to Son by Paul Bishop Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Remember when football was fun? When you knew the tea-lady's name, could watch your heroes train at the local park and get close enough to hear their banter? When you could go to a game without having to buy a ticket three weeks beforehand? No? Well, let Paul Bishop remind you of what it was like in his autobiographical tale From Father to Son. Publisher Description From Father to Son is Paul Bishop's semi-autobiographical account of his love of football, and most of all his local team Watford. It touches on the innocence of childhood and the influence of parents, family, friends, and in Paul's case Jimmy Hill, Johnny Haynes and many others. Part history, part travelogue, the book takes the reader on a nostalgic trip from the early 1960s, when football was a game and not a business. It explains why a five-minute segment in Kes makes it a better football film than Escape to Victory. It was an era when all English grounds were dominated by terraces, you could meet your mates and have a chat on the 'cinder curve' at Vicarage Road, as you marvelled at the skill of Ray Lugg and the heading ability of Barry Endean. The author also acknowledges the original 'boss' in his young eyes... Watford's legendary manager Ken Furphy, who went from Workington to New York Cosmos, via Watford, and ended up coaching both Pele and Johan Cruyff.
