There was even flirtation with international honours. He played with and against some of the finest players of his era. Later, as a coach and physiotherapist, he helped support the development of the next generation of stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArthur’s grandson Scott follows Arthur’s journey from his wartime debut in 1940 to his decision to leave football and take a ‘regular job’ in the early nineteen-sixties. The reader is returned to a time when football was a fundamentally different game. The ball was heavier, the kit was not a fashion accessory, and highly restricted wages meant the sport offered no path to untold riches. Arthur’s story offers a fascinating insight into the life of an aspiring footballer in wartime and early post-war Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53252487315729,"sku":"NIN9781836156178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781836156178.jpg?v=1773603164","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/young-arthur-book-scott-dixon-9781836156178","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
