THE MAVERICKS
Name a dozen Mavericks from British football. This book, sub-titled, "English Football when flair wore flares", first published 25 years ago, has been advertised on social media recently and must be worth a read.

I suspect the layout will be in bite size snippets, so not too taxing for us non-book readers.
Who are they?
