Description

Author Dave Bowler & journalist Chris Lepkowski  take a look back at the dominance of Liverpool and Everton in the 1980s, against the backdrop of societal breakdown and political warfare.

Separated by Stanley Park, Just Look At His Face explores the relationship between its two football clubs and a city crippled by a managed decline imposed by Margaret Thatcher's Government.
