Read this a couple of months ago, called "My Father and Other Working Class Football Heroes" by Gary Imlach.
Excellent stuff focusing on the career of his dad Stuart who played for a succession of clubs in the 50s and 60s and represented Scotland at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.
Highlights how much the players had in common with the supporters on the terraces in those days and indeed how much they were exploited.
Recommend it.
