England's footballers have long been the yardstick for national mood. Capable of clearing the streets for a crucial World Cup match, they are equally likely to blaze penalties over the crossbar to reduce the watching millions to tears. But it hasn't all been pain and anguish. In this book football writer Ivan Ponting relives 50 of the greatest England matches from 125 years of drama, glory, agony and upset. From victories in the formative years of international football against the other Home Nations, to taking on foes such as Germany, Brazil, Italy, Holland and Argentina, collected here are tales of heroes and villains, fame and infamy, triumph and disaster. Featuring all the greats; Hurst, Moore, Matthews, Charlton, Banks, Keegan, Robson, Lineker, Owen, Gascoigne, Beckham and Rooney, England's Greatest Games captures the essence of supporting the England football team.
