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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Dixon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836156170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836156178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grosvenor House Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Scott Dixon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450494988543,"sku":"9781836156178","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05e532e4-c490-4c2c-8360-4be9c3a6584f.jpg?v=1777268057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/young-arthur-scott-dixon-9781836156178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
