Product Description
England On This Day is history of the England team that, as the cliché goes, takes it one day at a time. Contained within its pages are England's greatest victories, most spectacular goals, biggest personalities and record breakers. Oh, and a couple of shoot-out losses to the Germans unfortunately. Some you'll remember, some you'll wish you did and others you'll have tried to forget, but here are all the stories that make being an England fan the unique mix of pride, passion and disappointment that we all put ourselves through. From Walter Winterbottom and Len Shackleton, through Sir Alf and Bobby Moore to Sven and Becks, it's all here.
About the Author
Joe Mewis first footballing memories are as an over-excited eight-year-old being put through the emotional mixer during Italia 90 in a way that only the England team can do. By 2006 he had just about got over England's penalty shoot-out loss to West Germany, so spent the summer in a campervan driving across Germany for the World Cup, only for it all to happen again. He is now a freelance football journalist. Rob Burnett grew up in the Falkland Islands, where, despite spending many of his early years nearly 8,000 miles from Wembley, he managed to keep up with all of England's penalty-related woe during the nineties thanks to the BBC World Service and even occasionally on television. He moved to the UK in 1999 and is now journalist working in London. This is Rob and Joe's second book.
