Synopsis
Programmes! Programmes! Football and Life from Wartime to Lockdown is a fascinating journey through the history of football and modern Britain, told through one of the game’s most treasured artefacts: the match-day programme.
Drawing on Cliff Hague's remarkable collection of more than 2,000 programmes, this captivating book explores football’s evolution from the hardships of wartime through to the globalised game of the twenty-first century. Along the way, it uncovers extraordinary stories of legendary players, forgotten heroes, famous matches, tragic events and the communities that built the sport we know today.
- Uses a unique collection of more than 2,000 football programmes to tell the story of the game’s development from wartime to lockdown
- Explores every aspect of football culture, from famous matches and World Cup winners to grassroots clubs and fan-owned teams
- Features humorous, unusual and nostalgic discoveries hidden within generations of match-day programmes
- Examines how football reflected wider social, cultural, economic and technological change in Britain
- Brings to life legendary players, fleeting stars, unforgettable moments and forgotten stories from across the decades
- A treasure trove of football nostalgia packed with fascinating anecdotes, quirky details and historical insight
More than a football book, Programmes! Programmes! is a rich social history of Britain viewed through the lens of the national game. Funny, moving and endlessly informative, it celebrates the memories, characters and communities that have shaped football across generations, making it essential reading for football historians, programme collectors and lovers of sporting nostalgia.

About the Author
Cliff Hague grew up playing football in the drizzly terraced streets of post-war Manchester, idolising the Busby Babes and collecting football programmes. Moving to Scotland in the late 1960s, eventually he became a globe-trotting urban planning academic, consultant and author. In 2016, he was awarded an OBE for his work. His writings have been published in The Scotsman, the Edinburgh Evening News, Scotland on Sunday and The Independent.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
