England and the 1966 World Cup presents a cultural analysis of what
is considered a key 'moment of modernity' in the nation's post-war
history. Regarded as having an importance beyond its primary
sporting purpose, the World Cup in England is examined within the
complexity of the cultural, social and political changes that
characterised the mid-1960s. Yet, although addressing the
importance of non-sport related connections, the book maintains a
focus on football, discussing it as a 'cultural form' and
presenting an original perspective on the aesthetic accomplishment
in football tactics by England's manager, Alf Ramsey. The study
considers the World Cup in relation to the cup tradition, England
as the World Cup host nation, the England squad and masculinity,
the modernism of England's manager Alf Ramsey, design and
commercial aspects of the World Cup, a critical engagement within
existing academic accounts, and an examination of how England's
victory has been remembered and commemorated. -- .
