THE LONG HARD ROAD TO WEMBLEY! Relive the best Roy of the Rovers stories from the 1960s in this exciting anthology of reprinted classic strips, celebrating over 65 years of the iconic football comic. Roy Race, Melchester Rovers captain and star striker, strides into the greatest decade of British football: the 1960s! League glory, European campaigns, foreign tours and a little thing called the World Cup are all on the horizon as Roy of the Rovers cements his footballing legacy. However, its also a period of great turmoil for the Rovers and their super-striker captain, Roy: from a saboteur within the club burning down the dressing room, an obsessed fan trying to ruin their cup run and the Rovers crash-landing on a small South American Island, the team will have to face down problems which threaten their very existence!

Sir Alex Ferguson said that his brief as Manchester United manager was to "knock Liverpool off their f*****g perch". After over 2,000 games and 25 seasons, this year he finally succeeded. Following an endless supply of trophies, none meant more to United's global legion of fans than their 19th league title - simply because it finally put Liverpool in their place. It has taken Sir Alex 25 years to establish United as the leader of the championship pack. When Alan Hansen captained Liverpool to their most recent championship in 1990, the tally read 18-7 in Liverpool's favour and few would have given the Scot a prayer of capturing one championship, never mind 12. In "19", award-winning journalist Harry Harris looks back at all the title winning seasons and analyses each one from the viewpoint of a player who distinguished himself in that title year, building up to the record title and an in-depth analysis of the 2010-11 season and how United finally surpassed Liverpool. The book looks at the record through the eyes of those who took part in each of them, or who observed them from close quarters. "19" features exclusive interviews with Arthur Albiston, Alan Brazil, Steve Bruce, Garth Crooks, Gary Pallister, Paul Parker, Lee Sharpe, Gordon Taylor, Dave Whelan, Ray Wilkins.

The Fab Five who won a century of England caps epitomised their ages! Billy Wright sprinkled glamour on to a nation desperate to throw off post-war austerity. He married a Beverley Sister, the Spice Girls of his generation, and played at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where they made the first great experiment in European football, under floodlights. Bobby Moore represented the cool of the sixties. As happy mixing with movie stars as the general public, Moore was a man of the people, an East End lad made good. The image of him walking from the players exit at Upton Park and tossing a set of keys to a group of boys to unlock his Jaguar sums up his approach to life. Long after he had retired, Bobby Charlton was the single English name most recognised abroad and remains the top scorer for his country. He is still regarded as the finest player ever to pull on an England shirt and was pivotal to Alf Ramsey's plans for success in '66. Peter Shilton kept goal in two of English footballs pivotal moments, the defeat by Poland in 1973 and the World Cup semi-final with West Germany 17 years later. He summed up a generation of footballers who liked a pint and a bet but who would give everything for a shirt with Three Lions on it. He is regarded as perhaps England's greatest 'keeper. David Beckham represents the present celebrity age, completing the circle from the Billy Wright era. But it emphasised how the game had changed. Footballers never earned big money in Wrights era thanks to the maximum wage, whereas the multi millions put Beckham into a financial class of his own. The Fab Five could soon to be expanded to eight as Ashley Cole Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard approach their respective tons. Harry Harris tells the tale of each of the England centurions and with it the era he played in from the 1950s and England's emergence from post-war gloom, through the glory of '66 to the present day trials and tribulations of a national team seemingly never far from controversy.

Bobby Charlton is Manchester United through and through. One of the original Busby Babes; he has devoted his career to the club, playing in 754 games over 17 years, and winning everything the game had to offer. He played alongside some of the greats such as Best and Law, suffered devastating defeats and was involved in one of the greatest soccer tragedies of all time.

Here, for the very first time, he tells the story of those United years, how he tasted FA Cup victory in the emotional final of 1963, won three First Division championships and in 1968 reached the pinnacle of club success—winning the European Cup.

Inevitably, such highs are balanced with no less dramatic lows, such as the 1957 European Cup semi-final, the highly charged 1958 FA Cup loss which followed only weeks after the Munich Air disaster, and the 1969 European Cup defeat by Milan.

The legacy that Bobby Charlton gives to United is beyond compare.

Fifty years on, the ultimate football and World Cup legend Sir Bobby Charlton looks back on England's greatest sporting triumph Wembley, 1966. England wins the World Cup to roars of a euphoric home crowd. Sir Bobby Charlton, England's greatest ever player, was there on the pitch. Now, half a century on, he looks back on the most glorious moment of his life and England's greatest sporting achievement. In 1966, he takes us through the build-up to the tournament and to the final itself - what he saw, what he heard, what he felt. He tells us what it was like to be part of Sir Alf Ramsey's team, his memories of his teammates, the matches, the atmosphere; the emotion of being carried on the wave of a nation's euphoria and how it felt to go toe-to-toe with some of the foremost footballers to ever play the game. His life has been forever defined by a single moment: one day when a man stood side-by-side with his best friends, united in a single aim in front of a watching nation. This is his story. 'It's gripping stuff... This is a mellow book, the product of many years' contemplation, and emotional in a way that may surprise you...He has a wonderful story to tell' Daily Mail
