'England invented football, codified it, became champions of the
world in 1966 but humiliatingly then forgot how to play the
greatest game of all. England took their eye off a ball they
arrogantly thought they owned, allowing other nations to run off
with it.' It was Fifty Years of Hurt from when Bobby Moore lifted
the World Cup trophy at Wembley to arguably the nadir of the
national game - defeat by Iceland at Euro 2016 and the most botched
managerial appointment in FA history. In this groundbreaking book,
a Sunday Times bestseller, Henry Winter addresses the state England
are in as they celebrate, or rather not, the golden anniversary of
their greatest moment. Part lament, part anatomy of an obsession,
both personal and collective, it analyses the truth behind the
endless excuses, apportions the blame for the crimes against
English football, but is also a search for hope and solutions. As
well as players and managers, Henry Winter talks to the fans, to
agents, to officials, to the governing bodies, about every aspect,
good and bad, of English football over the past five decades to
provide answers to the question: 'where did it all go wrong?'. It
is a passionate journey by a writer with vast personal insight into
the national team, with unprecedented access to all areas of the
game, but also by a fan who wants his England back. The Fifty Years
of Hurt must end.
