England's Last Glory: The Boys of 66 Book

A comprehensive and passionate account of a glorious triumph, this book features profiles of players and complete background to the final. It is written by a real footie authority, and is reissued for forthcoming 2006 World Cup. In a wonderfully nostalgic book, David Miller recaptures the heady days of summer 1966 when England won the World Cup in front of their own euphoric fans. Forty years on, he evokes the eager anticipation with which Britain awaited the arrival of the world's best footballers; how the England team and its tactics took shape in the run up to the competition; the new wingless formation and the widespread criticism from the press and the public. This general pessimism gave way to mass adulation as England vindicated the revolutionary tactics of manager Alf Ramsey. The book includes profiles of the England players and their manager and assesses the major competition from Europe and South America. Detailed is the progress of the team, their injuries, and controversies, through to the final against West Germany.Read More
