Last boy of ’66
£22.00The legendary 1966 World Cup hat-trick hero and now the only living player has the last word on England’s greatest ever football team. Four for England. Three for Hurst. Images of the team celebrating have taken their place in the nation’s photo album. Trophy aloft, smiling into their future. Banksy, George, Jack, Mooro, Ray, Nobby, Ballie, Bobby, Martin, Roger. Geoff’s ten teammates. His 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 – his vision, his drive, his loyalty. Also his shyness, even awkwardness.

A beautiful game

Now, facing life’s ultimate test, Sven looks back on what he has achieved, experienced and learned over a lifetime in service to the beautiful game of football. It is a journey that has taken him, from a small club in his native Sweden, across every continent, competing on the world’s stage. Recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, Sven talks candidly about his extraordinary successes (as well as overcoming his failures).

White hot
£12.99When England lifted the T20 World Cup in November 2022, they became the first ever men’s team to be One-Day International and T20 world champions simultaneously. In English sport, triumphs aren’t just rare – they also tend to be followed by a collapse. England’s white-ball cricket side was different: a team that followed scaling the summit by doing so again. They became, as Australia’s captain put it, ‘the benchmark’ for the rest of the world. ‘White Hot’ tells the full story of how England built one of the most extraordinary sides ever seen in limited-overs cricket.

Unfit and improper persons
£12.99Ever dreamed of setting up your own football club? Join the team behind The Price of Football podcast as they start a (fictional) football club and discover what’s really going on behind the scenes of the beautiful game. Buying a football club will set you back a few quid, but you’ve also got to pass the Premier League and EFL’s ‘fit and proper persons test’. That all seems like a bit of a faff to the team behind the award-winning podcast The Price of Football, so acclaimed comedy writer Kevin Day, football finance expert Kieran Maguire and producer Guy Kilty start an imaginary club instead. In ‘Unfit and Improper Persons’ they take West Park Rovers on a hilarious journey from the lowest level of the FA pyramid right up to the English Football League, the Premier League and, if fortune favours the fictional, into the heart of Europe.
