Many books have been written about the 1966 World Cup but this one
is different. Brian Scovell was the only national newspaper sports
writer-for the 'Daily Sketch'-to report on both the World Cup and
the England v West Indies series dominated by Gary Sobers. He had
full access to the heroes like Bobby Charlton, who was nearly run
over on the day of the Final, Bobby Moore, who was sacked by West
Ham just before the event and reinstated, Eusebio, Alf Ramsey,
Colin Cowdrey, Tom Graveney, Brian Close, Ken Barrington, Wes Hall
and all the leading figures. He contrasts these stirring and
sportsmanlike happenings against what is occurring now-greed and
corruption in football and the absence of genuine heroes in
cricket. His 'on the spot reports' from his cuttings and the book
he wrote on the Test series at the time, 'Everything that's
cricket,' brings to life the action which captivated the nation.
This is his 27th book and four of them have been short listed by
the British Sports Books Award. After the 'Sketch' was merged with
the 'Daily Mail' in 1971, he completed forty years with Associated
Newspapers before retiring to write books.
