London England: Headline. Fine/Near Fine. 2008. First Edition First Print. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 9780755316212 Hardback Hardback. First Edition. Here, in the second part of his bestselling autobiography, Sir Bobby talks in detail about his phemonenal international career. During the 22 years he played for his country, he was involved in some of the greatest England games of all time. The 9-3 thrashing of Scotland, the 1962 and 1970 World Cup games against the Brazliains, the classic 1970 World Cup quarter-final against West Germany - and of course, the triump of 1966. Sir Alf Ramsey described Charlton as the 'linchpin' of the '66 World Cup-winning campaign. In the final he neutralised the hugely influential Franz Becknebaurer, but it was the semi-final against the Portuguese that many regard as Charlton's greatest game. His ability to create space, his crisp passing and his two goals saw off one of the great teams of that era. Now, for the very first time, Sir Bobby talks openly about his England career. From breaking into the squad at 20, barely two months after the horror of the Munich air crash, to the highs of '66 and the lows of '70, his story encompasses drama, passion, goals, controversies, classic matches, world-class players, and moments of footballing genius. A truly inspirational story from a true football legend.
