Title Details

Alan Mullery's passion for soccer is matched by a stream of anecdotes about the players that have filled his professional life, including Bobby Moore, Pele, Johnny Haynes, Jimmy Greaves, and George Best. Here, for the first time, Mullery lets the reader into the secrets he has previously kept hidden—the shame of being sent off for England, the true story behind England's 1970 World Cup quarter-final defeat, how he sold 1,000 Cup final tickets on the black market, and the bitterness behind the cheers of Spurs' 1972 UEFA Cup victory. From the war-torn streets of London to the great soccer arenas of the world, the Alan Mullery story is packed with non-stop action, famous characters, and every human emotion.
