Críticas
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book - one of the best I've had the pleasure to review." --Programme Monthly
"A genuinely great achievement. For me, it is rare for an author to write, as Tim Quelch has, with such feeling for history that the reader wishes he was living through the story as if it was happening now." --Hyder Jawad, Soccerama
"For football and cricket fans of a certain age, Tim Quelch is a writer to be relied upon implicitly. Whether he is chronicling the remarkable achievement of little Burnley in out-gunning the big-city giants to become champions of the winter game back in 1959-60, or marvelling at the derring-do of romantic giant-killers such as Wimbledon and Hereford United in upsetting overwhelming odds during the last half-century, or chronicling England's 1950s reign as Test match cricket kings, he has been a joy to read." --Ivan Ponting
"Pitch Publishing have recently re-printed two fantastic books written by our very own longstanding Clarets supporter Tim Quelch, the titles are Never Had It So Good and Underdog. I have both of these books in my sports book collection and can highly recommend them, add them to yours you will not be disappointed." --TheLongSide.co.uk
"A brilliant exercise in historical context, placing the adventures of one of Burnley's best-ever teams both against and within a sharp backdrop of a town worried about its economic future and of a country both gloomily grappling with a diminished global status and yet furtively sniffing the first intoxicating whiffs of a space-age future." --London Clarets Magazine.
"Packed with immense detail, terrific research and evocative writing, it should sit proudly on any Burnley fan's bookshelf. Well done Tim, it is a wonderful tribute to a terrific achievement" --Clarets Mad
"Tim's superb achievement in capturing both the football side and social aspect of those heady times ensures this masterfully worded and fully-illustrated book will become a truly definitive work." --Colne Times
"A superb book. The finished product is of great credit to you." --Trevor Meredith, Burnley's Championship-winning goalscorer in May 1960.
"The book brought back such wonderful memories." --John Angus Burnley & England, a member of the Championship winning side of 1959/60.
"Captures those fantastic times just as I remember them." --Jimmy Robson, a member of the Championship winning side of 1959/60.
"Excellent." --Bob Seith, a member of the Championship winning side of 1959/60.
"A wonderful book." --Brian Laws former Burnley, Sheffield Wednesday, Scunthorpe and Grimsby manager and a right back with Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest.
"Very interesting and thought-provoking, resulting in me reminiscing about the late 1950s and early 1960s." --Roger Frost, Burnley historian.
Reseña del editor
Burnley's league title victory of 1960 remains one of the most remarkable feats in the history of English football, the club the smallest ever to win its premier title. Despite spending far less than other champions and drawing more modest crowds, Burnley beat the likes of Manchester United, Spurs and Wolves by playing exciting, fluid, continental-style football that won many admirers. 'I wanted to applaud their artistry,' Jimmy Greaves commented. 'In an era when quite a few teams believed in the big boot, they were a league of gentlemen.' Former player Brian Miller described how grounded the team were at the time: 'Several of us worked at Bank Hall pit all day and then played First Division football. Spurs' players didn't do that.' Never Had It So Good reveals how Burnley's amazing title triumph was achieved - and how very different life was for a footballer in those bygone days.
