.My Manchester United Years: The Autobiography

by: Bobby Charlton

May 29, 2008
I always admired Bobby Charlton as a footballer but thought he seemed a little distant as a man. This well-written autobiography seeks to redress that balance and my overall impression is of a man who recognised his own talent but was also generous in that regard to others. No one can fail to be moved by his account of Munich and his clear love for his friends who tragically lost their lives. I wasn't born at the time but as a football fan I wonder how brilliant that team would have been had the air crash not happened.

The press always made a big thing of Charlton and Best not liking each other when the truth is so obviously that here were two immensely talented men who moved in different social circles. Bobby was a family man ... Read More:

.Colin Bell - Reluctant Hero: The Autobiography of a Manchester City and England Legend

by: Colin Bell, Ian Cheeseman

October 06, 2005
A good book about a quiet man. A quiet man who was lord of the field. He didn't need words to show who was the best, his feet and his brain proved that.
I pride myself in being a fan of City for 40 years and priveleged to have seen that golden era of the magnificent team the late 60's and early 70's.
This book is not full of "let me tell you what I did son" stories.
It is about a quiet, modest North East lad who went to the top of his game, only to have his career ended by injury far too early.
He showed strength and determination to get back on the field, at the same time, trying to maintain his dignity and raise a family.
The book tells it all, home and pitch life, up to the present day.
The author has done loyal fans a service by letting ... Read More:

.1966 Uncovered: The Unseen Story of the World Cup in England

by: Peter Robinson, Doug Cheeseman, Harry Pearson

May 18, 2006
An absolute definitive record of the 1966 World Cup held in England. Yes that's right matches were staged all over England NOT just London.

Very wittily written pieces accompany many rarely published photographs from regional newspaper agencies and personal collections across the country.

Obviously the 4-2 Wembley final gets a look at the end of the book but not at expense of detailed retrospectives of North Korea's shock victory over Italy at Ayresome Park, Pele, Garrincha and Eusebio lighting up Goodison Park

A brilliant retrospective proving that there was more to 1966 then Geoff Hurst's hat trick, Russian linesman and Bobby Moore wiping his dirty hand on his shirt before meeting the Queen.
