From the back street terraces of the 1950s to the football terraces of the 60s, Sharpe As A Blade's central theme focuses on the author's love affair with Sheffield United Football Club. This is a first hand account of the emergence of a new, dangerous, exciting and violent football culture that began to sweep across the country ... but the book goes far deeper and is a light hearted, social and cultural history of the time.

Take a trip back to a golden age and capture the spirit of the swinging 60s and the heady days of sex, drugs and Rock 'n' Roll.

Sharpe As A Blade (Part One - The 50s and 60s) is a humorous, evocative and honest account of working class life in the post-war years. The music, fashion, the football gangs and the youth cultures of the mods, rockers, hippies, hells angels and skinheads that shaped this amazing decade are all covered in vivid detail.
