The history of modern British football can largely be written through the stories of Jack and Bobby Charlton. Both were in the World Cup winning team of ’66, and each has remained deeply involved in the game ever since.

Review: Well written, a real picture of life in post-war mining communities in Northern England. A good portrait of the personalities of both brothers. It doesn’t try to dish the dirt but does give you a good insight into how they both worked. Both brothers come out of the book as real, identifiable people.

The Author: Leo McKinstry writes regularly for the Daily Mail, the Sunday Telegraph and the Spectator magazine on a wide range of subjects. Born in Belfast in 1962, he is a graduate of Cambridge University. He has authored several books on current affairs and two major sports biographies, including the critically acclaimed story of the Charlton brothers, Jack and Bobby, which won the WHSmith Sports Book of the Year Award in 2003.
