BOOK SYNOPSIS

Sir Bobby Charlton is widely acknowledged as the greatest player ever to wear an England shirt. He won over a hundred caps and scored a record number of goals. here, in the second part of his bestselling autobiography, Sir Bobby talks in detail about his phenomenal international career.

During the 22 years he played for his country, he was involved in some of the greatest England games of all time. The 9-3 thrashing of Scotland, the 1962 and 1970 World Cup games against the Brazilians, the classic 1970 World Cup quarter-final against West Germany - and, of course, the triumph of 1966.

Sir Alf Ramsey described Charlton as 'the linchpin' of the '66 World Cup-winning campaign. In the final he neutralised the hugely influential Franz Beckenbauer, but it was the semi-final against the Portuguese that many regard as Charlton's greatest game. His ability to create space, his crisp passing and his two goals saw off one of the great teams of that era.

Now, for the first time, Sir Bobby talks openly about his England career. From breaking into the sqaud at 20, barely two. months after the horror of the Munich air crash, to the highs of '66 and the lows of '70, his story encompasses drama, passion, goals, controversies, classic matches, world-class players, and moments of footballing genius.

A Truly inspirational story from a true football legend.
