Review:

"Pick of the crop, the definitive history of England's 1966 World Cup triumph... A beauty in every respect. What so often in the past has been dry, academic dissertation is rendered here with the clarity of historical drama." Time Out "Hutchinson illuminates a story of triumph with nuggets of insight and information... he is funny, perceptive and lucid." The Herald "It comes rudely to life for the climax and the account of the final is riveting." The Independent "The story of the 1966 World Cup straight, with the benefit of hindsight and a distinct lack of jingoism" Euro '96 Cup Final Programme
