Synopsis
Fifty years on, the ultimate football and World Cup legend Sir Bobby Charlton looks back on England's greatest sporting triumph Wembley, 1966. England wins the World Cup to roars of a euphoric home crowd. Sir Bobby Charlton, England's greatest ever player, was there on the pitch. Now, half a century on, he looks back on the most glorious moment of his life and England's greatest sporting achievement. In 1966, he takes us through the build-up to the tournament and to the final itself - what he saw, what he heard, what he felt. He tells us what it was like to be part of Sir Alf Ramsey's team, his memories of his teammates, the matches, the atmosphere; the emotion of being carried on the wave of a nation's euphoria and how it felt to go toe-to-toe with some of the foremost footballers to ever play the game. His life has been forever defined by a single moment: one day when a man stood side-by-side with his best friends, united in a single aim in front of a watching nation. This is his story. 'It's gripping stuff... This is a mellow book, the product of many years' contemplation, and emotional in a way that may surprise you...He has a wonderful story to tell' Daily Mail

Carefully and lovingly told with deeper layers of reflection and wistfulness. -- Giles Smith * The Times * It's gripping stuff... This is a mellow book, the product of many years' contemplation, and emotional in a way that may surprise you...He has a wonderful story to tell -- Markus Berkmann * Daily Mail * Breathtakingly lucid, insistently informative and deeply affecting... It owes much to the presence of that most benign of ghosts, the wonderful James Lawton, who imbues his books not only with an authentic, clear-eyed love of the game but with his gift, spectacular in this particular instance, to bring historic moments into a focus so immediate that one is almost forced to blink * Herald * Thoughtful and reflective...full of fascinating detail. * Mail On Sunday * [A] fascinating inside account of what remains the nation's greatest sporting achievement. * Choice Magazine *
