Last Boy of '66: My story of England's World Cup winning team - [AUDIOBOOK]

Brought to you by Penguin.

FOUR FOR ENGLAND. THREE FOR HURST.

'Images of us celebrating have taken their place in the nation's photo album. Trophy aloft, smiling into our future.

Banksy, George, Jack, Mooro, Ray, Nobby, Bally, Bobby, Martin, Roger. My ten teammates. My old friends. They've now all gone. Heroes from an era that is slipping into sepia.'

But it isn't all over. Not yet. One of them is still here, and before he goes, Geoff wanted to get down his final thoughts about 1966. He talks about Alf Ramsay - his vision, his drive, his loyalty. Also his shyness, even awkwardness. About his teammates, about Jimmy Greaves - hard workers, cool heads, dedicated pros. Geoff tells their collective story, digging below the surface, reflecting on their victory, its impact on their lives.

It was a bittersweet onward journey for the Boys of '66. Their legacy was squandered and their team uncelebrated. But the eleven of them shared something that no other Englishman has ever experienced. Here Geoff brings them all together, one last time, to see them make history.
