Product Description
Synopsis
The Complete Authorised Biography of Sir Tom Finney, Obe; England's Greatest Ever Footballer; At his peak, Tom Finney was recognised as the best footballer in the world. He dazzled defenders and spectators around the globe, setting standards that have still to be surpassed, and won 76 England caps. His modest demeanour masked an iron will and strong principles. From a working class Lancashire family, Finney's mother died when he was four. He revealed his uncanny ball skills in neighbourhood kickabouts and by adulthood was displaying his magic before packed stadia for his beloved Preston North End, the team he would never leave. In this revised and updated paperback edition of his biography, Sir Tom tells of his fight for a decent wage in the days when players were seen and not heard; the horrors of World War Two as a tank driver with the Eighth Army, how an Italian prince tried to buy him for Torino; the brilliance of the England team of Lawton, Milburn and Wright, and the truth about his rivalry with the great Stanley Matthews.
