Jack and Bobby. A Story of Brothers in Conflict

London England: CollinsWillow, 2002. Hardback. First Edition. Very slight shelf wear to edge of D/J. The history of modern football in the British Isles can partly be written through the lives of Jack and Bobby Charlton. Their careers have included glorious triumphs with England and ireland and years of brilliant achievement at their respective clubs of Leeds and Manchester United. Since the early fifties, they have been involved in every aspect of the game as apprentices, professionals, internationals, managers, ambassadors, commentators, and, most romantically of all, as World Cup winners in 1966. Now the author has produced the very first comprehensive biography of these two pivotal figures. Based on in-depth research and a large number of interviews, this account revelas the complex, sometimes troubled, personalities behind the exploits on the football field. Every aspect of their story is covered, from their humble origins in the north-eastern coal-mining town of Ashington to their present-day millionaire status.
