The Working Man's Ballet
Description:
King of Chelsea Soccer Club's supreme team of the roaring 70's, and arguably the finest footballer London ever produced, Alan Hudson was the genius at the heart of this dream team. In a meteoric rise, he went to a European final in just months and his England debut against West Germany was without doubt the most spectacular ever. Called the finest player of his generation, he was the quintessential cockney rebel, and his career was marked by clashes with authority and the establishment. Here he tells his own remarkable story, as unorthodox and inspired as his own unique style of football. This isn't just a book about soccer or a nostalgia trip... its a story of a gifted young man growing up in one of the most exciting eras in the most glamorous world sport of them all.
