After almost a quarter-century as the BBC's Chief Football
Correspondent, Mike Ingham MBE shares a candid, comprehensive and
sometimes controversial account of how the world of broadcasting
and football changed beyond recognition throughout his career. His
broadcasting experiences saw him attend eight World Cups,
commentate on twenty-eight F.A. Cup Finals, work with ten full-time
England managers, introduce Sports Report, present his own music
show on BBC Radio 1, and he even covered Princess Diana's funeral.
He has enjoyed working with a who's who of personalities from the
world of football and has tales to tell about all of them... This
book is a timely reminder of England's campaigns in tournaments
over the last half-century with a detailed and eyewitness account
of what the atmosphere was really like over the years behind the
scenes in the England camp. Mike Ingham MBE was the BBC's Chief
Football Correspondent for almost a quarter of a century and only
the third person to hold this post after Brian Moore and Bryon
Butler. In a radio career of over forty years, Mike attended eight
World Cups, commentated on twenty-eight F.A. Cup Finals and worked
with ten full-time England managers. Starting out as a DJ in a
nightclub, music and football have been his twin obsessions and
often the two worlds have bounced into each other as many of his
musical heroes have also been football fans. The start of his
broadcasting career at BBC Radio Derby coincided with the glory
years for Derby County with Brian Clough and Dave Mackay and his
final commentary for the BBC was at the Maracana Stadium in Rio for
the World Cup Final of 2014. Shortly after his retirement Mike
became the first broadcaster to be given a Lifetime Achievement by
the Sports Journalists Association. What made this even more
special for him was to be presented with this honour by four of the
men he respected most of all in the industry, Hugh McIlvanney,
James Lawton, Jeff Powell and Patrick Collins.
