Description

Two Brothers is a dual biography of the Charlton brothers, Jack and Bobby, who enjoyed great success as football players and together won the World Cup for England. The book explores the tensions between flair and industry, individuality and the collective, and the social and cultural context of late-twentieth-century English football.

The brothers' contrasting personalities and playing styles are revealed, with Jack's charismatic and confident approach to the game contrasting with Bobby's more reserved and tactical approach. Despite their differences, both brothers achieved great success in their careers, and their story is one of the most famous in English football history.

This book provides a fascinating account of the Charlton brothers' lives and careers, and offers insights into the social and cultural context of English football in the late twentieth century.
