There was even flirtation with international honours. He played with and against some of the finest players of his era. Later, as a coach and physiotherapist, he helped support the development of the next generation of stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArthur's grandson Scott follows Arthur's journey from his wartime debut in 1940 to his decision to leave football and take a 'regular job' in the early nineteen-sixties. The reader is returned to a time when football was a fundamentally different game. The ball was heavier, the kit was not a fashion accessory, and highly restricted wages meant the sport offered no path to untold riches. Arthur's story offers a fascinating insight into the life of an aspiring footballer in wartime and early post-war Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grosvenor House Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47592523530391,"sku":"9781836156178","price":1466.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781836156178.webp?v=1774978052","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/young-arthur-a-football-journey-1940-1962-9781836156178","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
