Описание
In the summer of 1970, England was buzzing about the new soccer season. The new age of televised highlights meant that the sport's profile had never been greater, generating a new celebrity status for players and catapulting them into the limelight like never before. The 1970-71 season did not disappoint as Arsenal achieved the first Double of soccer's televised era amid controversy and drama. The Football League and FA Cup were won at the end of a campaign that included a street fight in Rome, the emergence of new young stars, and unrest and unhappiness among some of the older players. Seventy-One Guns includes extensive interviews with the Arsenal players and coaches, and through their memories, anecdotes, and opinions, recreates the drama of that memorable season.
