Review
Product description: This is a true 'rags to riches' football story of a miner's son who fulfilled his dream to play for his country. This is a book with a message - rewards are earned from hard work and determination. The foreword written by Jimmy Greaves and contributions from Sir Bobby Charlton. This book follows the life of a young miner who was plucked from the mineshaft to find himself playing football in the Italian League a few years later. It is surely something that dreams were made of? However, this is exactly what happened to one such talented, working class lad from a small mining village in Shropshire in the late 1950's. With contributions from some legendary footballers such as Jimmy Greaves, Sir Bobby Charlton and Peter McParland, this biography illustrates the path taken by lad who rose from 'rags to riches' and which saw many twists and turns.
