Sinopsis

1974 whisks you back half a century to discover the major matches, stories and controversies that lit up football in that momentous year.
 
From the author of 1923: Life in Football One Hundred Years Ago and 1953: Life in Football Seventy Years Ago.
 
Britain in 1974 was a land of strikes, electricity cuts, a three-day working week and the country’s first official recession for 50 years. Floodlit football matches were banned, Sunday football was established and attendances fell as cash-strapped fans couldn’t afford to watch live games.
 
This compelling book includes:
A chilling exploration of how football hooliganism began to spiral out of control and how the sport was shamed by the first murder on the terracesThe full story behind Brian Clough’s nightmare 44-day reign at Leeds United and its rancorous toxic fall-outThe sad tale of Bill Shankly’s retirement as Liverpool manager and how it all ended in tears and recriminationAnalysis of Manchester United’s nightmare season and their first relegation from the top flight for more than 30 yearsHow the FA finally ended the shameful 50-year ‘ban’ on women’s footballA revolution in amateur football as paid players are allowed, the league pyramid is totally reorganised and the national England amateur team disbandedThe story of how Leeds United and Umbro pioneered the multi-billion-pound replica kit industry and helped usher sponsorship into football 
Read about all this and much more in this fascinating and exhaustively researched study of a special footballing year.

    American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
     
     
     
    As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
     
     
     
    The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.
