Get Ready For This: The Remarkable Rumbelows League Cup Era tells the story of one of English football's most bizarre chapters, through fresh stories and conversations with those who lived it. Between Italia '90 and the birth of the Premier League, the game was in transition. Optimism was back after years of decline, yet the glossy era of Sky and all-seater stadiums was still to come. In that short window, the League Cup - sponsored by high-street electronics chain Rumbelows - became a stage for chaos and spectacle. There were sprint races between players, television giveaways and the most infamous cup draw of all time, conducted live from Trump Tower. Through conversations with players, former ITV broadcasters and representatives of both the Football League and Rumbelows, this book reveals how a domestic cup briefly became the wildest show in English football. Brimming with eccentric tales, giant-killings and record goals, this is football at its most entertaining and unpredictable.
