Andrew Vaughan writes for a (meagre) living
His latest book is Punk Football
Here's the blurb
ON SALE NOW According to The Clash there was “No Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones in 1977." Maybe not - but there was a Silver Jubilee, The Sex Pistols, Rock against Racism, Buzzcocks, Pigeon Wars, Space Invaders, Eric’s and Wigan Athletic’s final season as a non-league football club.
As a clothes and music obsessed Wigan Athletic fan 18-year old Andrew Vaughan cut a lonely figure on the terraces of Springfield Park. However in the Bier Keller- a small bar under the King Street pavement - a new world of punk rock, reggae and beautiful girls was emerging whilst at Springfield Park and a variety of outposts of northern non-league football an excellent season unfolded for his beloved football team.
Punk Football recounts an historic fifteen months for both Wigan Athletic and the music scene in Britain. From Jubilee parties to Division Four via power cuts, Sir Alf Ramsey, The Strangles, the famous non-league hooligans and Green Goddesses. Featuring interviews with players, punk rockers and supporters the book encapsulates the period 30 years ago when, if anybody had suggested Wigan Athletic would be competing in the very top division of English football they would have been incarcerated in Winwick Hospital.
Brimming with humour and touched with pathos Punk Football evokes an altogether different Wigan and for that matter Wigan Athletic Football Club to that we know today. Hey Ho, Let’s Go
