The Football History Podcast 6: Phil Brennan's 'Lost' - a photographic record of football in the 1980s

Were the 1980s really a time where football was a 'slun sport, played in slum stadiums for slum people'? (The Times in 1985) Or were they really the last days of football as a truly working class pursuit, never to return?

In this episode of The Football History Podcast I speak to author and editor of 'Lost' - a unique photographic record of football in the 1980s compiled with David Featherstone.


In the words of our own intro theme, 'does it bring back memories?'
