Longlisted for Football Book of the Year at the Sports Book Awards
It is a special footballer who wins the World Cup as a 21-year-old
and ends a two-decade career as one of the most revered players in
the history of four clubs. Former England captain Alan Ball was
such a man: prodigy at Blackpool, youngest hero of 1966,
Championship winner at Everton, British-record signing for the
second time at Arsenal and veteran schemer for Southampton - not to
mention footwear trend-setter. And all after being told he was too
small to succeed in the game. Yet his years as a flat-cap wearing
manager consisted mostly of relegation and promotion battles, some
successful and some not, and plenty of frustration as he fought to
produce winners in his own image and emulate the feats of his
playing days. His life already touched tragically by the car crash
that killed his father and the loss of his beloved wife Lesley to
cancer, Ball died, aged only 61, after suffering a heart attack
during a garden blaze. A decade on from his death, and drawing on
interviews with family, friends and colleagues including Jimmy
Armfield, Sir Geoff Hurst, George Cohen, Gordon Banks, Joe Royle,
Mick Channon, Lawrie McMenemy, Francis Lee, George Graham, Frank
McLintock, Matthew Le Tissier and many more, Alan Ball: The Man in
White Boots is the definitive study of one of English football's
most enduring figures.
