This vintage paperback offers a unique glimpse into the 1966 FIFA World Cup, widely regarded as one of the greatest moments in English sporting history. Author Berry Stainback provides an inside look at the star players who led England to its first and only World Cup victory on home soil. Despite its well-worn exterior, the book’s interior remains remarkably intact, preserving Stainback’s vivid accounts of legends like Bobby Charlton, Geoff Hurst, and Gordon Banks. Published shortly after the tournament, this contemporary perspective captures the raw excitement and national pride surrounding England’s historic triumph. For fans of soccer history and sports biographies, this humble tome transports readers back to that famous summer when England’s heroes achieved immortality.
