Got, Not Got: Southampton FC: The Lost World of Southampton

Got, Not Got: The Lost World of Southampton is an Aladdin’s cave of memories and memorabilia, guaranteed to whisk you back to The Dell’s fondly remembered ‘Golden Age’ of mud and magic – as well as a Saints-mad childhood of miniature tabletop games and imaginary, comic-fuelled worlds. The book recalls a more innocent era of football, lingering longingly over relics from the good old days – Saints stickers and petrol freebies, league ladders, big-match programmes and much more – revisiting lost football culture, treasures and pleasures that are 100 per cent Southampton. If you were a Junior Saint, one of the army of obsessive soccer kids at any time from the Ted Bates era to the early days of the Premier League, then this is the book to recall the mavericks – Channon, Keegan and Stokes; Paine, Armstrong and Le Tissier – and the marvels of the lost world of football.
