More than just the tale of one man and his football, Crops is a testament to the passion of
generations for the beautiful game, as well as a heart-wrenching account of the sacrifices that commitment to life on the pitch can lead to.


Filled with frank recollections of personal triumphs and despair, Crops is also peppered with anecdotes about the footballing legends Cropley played alongside and captures the spirit of football in the seventies. Whether readers remember Cropley's more famous
goals with warmth or recognise themselves in the football-crazed kid playing on the streets, this is a must-have for any football fan.
