«When Footballers Were Skint» is an essay on soccer history by Jon Henderson, published by Biteback Publishing in paperback (in English).
Before soccer became a million-dollar business, players' wages were capped and stars barely earned more than any ordinary worker. The book gathers testimonies from British soccer players who traveled to games on public transit, lived in modest houses, and shared the lives of their fans.
The subtitle is «A Journey in Search of the Soul of Football». It was a finalist for the Telegraph Sports Book Awards 2019.
For soccer fans interested in the history of the sport and the lives of British players before the era of big salaries.
