This book assesses the character and skills of the team who brought England World Cup glory in 1966. Covering the whole squad, including key members of the backroom team and the inspiring figure of Sir Alf Ramsey, The Team of '66 explores the very different individuals who pulled together to create one of the iconic moments in British post-war history. Under the peerless captaincy of Sir Bobby Moore, the England team made it past highly fancied opponents to face the greatest challenge of all the Germans, past masters of tournament success. By looking at each player, man by man, this book examines their backgrounds and personalities to piece together the ingredients of a winning team. They were far removed from the multi-millionaire players of today, but England's team of '66 had what it takes, and gelled into a team of true inspiration. The Team of '66 shows how they did it, and also shows what we can learn about success at the highest level from those famous names: Moore, Charlton, Banks, Hurst .
