There was no invited ‘Super League’ nonsense in those days, to become the Champions of Europe Villa had to be the Champions of England… Real Champions playing other Real Champions. Set against the backdrop of a global pandemic that had threatened to change our everyday lives for good – at a time when we needed football more than ever to escape reality. There are also dozens of never before published action shots and pictures from George’s own personal photographic collection to enjoy.

Already recognized as the authority on the women’s game, ‘The Women’s Football Yearbook’ is the definitive annual – offering unrivalled information, photos, facts and figures on all England’s leading teams. With an entry on each of the 24 clubs competing in the WSL and Championship as well as the England national team, the book also contains a foreword by UEFA women’s football chief and former FIFA World Best Player Nadine Keßler. Just as The Damned United (listed below) is a book that examines, through a stream-of-consciousness narrative, the obsessions of a man being played out in an often-illogical, unforgiving, alpha male-dominated environment.And for those who (pre-Covid) lived for those never-ending pub arguments with no hope of resolution, this book is their bible. Insomnia takes hold and the Clough of the novel struggles to understand why the skills and practices that made him a brilliant football player – prior to career-ending injury – and then a mercurial manager, have apparently deserted him.

Hornby doesn’t hold back from elucidating how irrational the life of a football fan can become as the fixtures begin to govern his own relationships with those close to him. We have unearthed hundreds of never-used or long-forgotten photographs, reproduced alongside a match report from every game, a player profile of every Villa player (with a photo), interviews with some of the stand-out players, as well as league tables and statistical information season by season. Ultimate Football Heroes charts the journeys of your favourite players, from little league hopefuls to the superstar players they are today - with plenty of hard work, setbacks, goals and glory along the way. The Manchester United Book of the Seventies encapsulates the decade at Old Trafford like never before.

The first book was published in September – and tells the remarkable story of Villa’s first 75 years, an era when the club dominated football… the Kings of Birmingham and renowned across the globe. I was 24 when it happened, just a few years older than John Finch, the central character of this book. The team’s inspirational captain, Tony Adams, was sent to prison, a more rigorous fixture schedule, a mid-match brawl that led to the only points deduction to have ever been given to a club – before or since – are just some of the crazy circumstances that the Arsenal team of 90/91 had to overcome.

George ‘Geordie’ Armstrong served Arsenal for 27 years as both a player and a coach, before being cruelly taken from his family and his club whilst coaching the Arsenal reserves at London Colney – he collapsed suddenly on the training pitch having suffered a brain haemorrhage in October 2000 – and never recovered. When Jimmy Rabbitte Sr ploughs his unemployment money into a rundown fish-and-chip van, he unwittingly inspires the writing of every one of my books.
