Under the Floodlights! (häftad, eng)

Under the Floodlights! is the fascinating story of the League Cup, charting its rich history through 64 seasons, with contributions from the people who were there - players, fans, managers, journalists and match officials.

The competition was conceived in 1960 as an alternative to the FA Cup, with midweek cup matches to be played under the floodlights.

Initially, though, it was met with indifference by clubs and derision by Fleet Street.

The format of the competition was changed several times, and it wasn''t until 1967 that it really picked up traction when the final was moved to Wembley and changed to a single leg.

It went from strength to strength, with all 92 clubs competing over the next few years and European places up for grabs.

Unlike the FA Cup, the League Cup final has featured clubs from the bottom tiers of the Football League.

As the competition approaches its 65th anniversary, this book brings us the full untold story.
