Description
Wembley, 30 July 1966, marked a historic moment in English football. The World Cup champions had finally been crowned, but the journey to victory was far from straightforward. In this book, John Rowlinson explores the story behind England's triumph, delving into the selection of the final team and the players who made the cut. The path to victory was fraught with challenges, with Alf Ramsey ultimately choosing just 11 players from a pool of 50. The book sheds light on the experiences of those who made the final squad, as well as those who were overlooked. With previously unpublished photographs, this chronicle provides a unique insight into professional football over 50 years ago. This book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in English football history, revealing the complexities and challenges that led to England's World Cup victory.
