Record Breakers: The Inside Story of Notts County's Momentous 1997/98 Title Win

Description:

Record Breakers: The Inside Story of Notts County's Momentous 1997/98 Title Win delves into the inner sanctum of a basement-league dressing room in the 90s, as its inhabitants attempt to write themselves into the history books. Led by future England boss Sam Allardyce, taking some of his first managerial steps, Record Breakers is the inspirational tale of how the world's oldest Football League club fought back from a plunge down the divisions, falling attendances and financial strife to become the first side in post-war English football to win a title in March. The momentous feat is relived by the players themselves, lending a unique insight into their record run. It's packed with characters and anecdotes, and augmented with memories of supporters who lived through this season of tumbling records. From training ground punch-ups to transfer tales and unforgettable celebrations, Record Breakers is a remarkable winners' story in what now seems a bygone era.


Review

"Captures the at-the-time innovative ideas of then Notts County boss Sam Allardyce, like specialist training for goalkeepers and the use of sports science. The game has become more professional, some would say boring, since then. There's a decent interview with Allardyce in the book. He laments that very fact." --The Football League Paper

"A great read for Notts County fans!" --The League mag

"Focuses on 1997-98 when a record points haul led County to become the first club in postwar English football to have a title wrapped up in March. Smith has spoken to numerous key figures on the field and behind the scenes in a well-researched and nicely written tale. Sam Allardyce reveals how the season was the making of his career." --Backpass

"An account of Sam Allardyce's impact on Notts County in one triumphant fourth-tier season, told through his players' stories. The 1997-98 season was incredible. Will appeal to Notts fans who were there, with a secondary appeal to Big Sam appreciators and those with an interest in the fine detail of distinct seasons where it all comes together. --When Saturday Comes
