World Cup Book Coverage

This Football World Cup Book covers highlights from every World Cup Tournament from 1958 to 2006.

In 1958 Northern Ireland and Wales both reached the Quarter Finals, Wales being knocked out by tournament winners, Brazil, by just one goal to nil. England got to the same stage in 1962, also beaten by Brazil on their way to their second successive World Cup trophy.

1966 was England’s year, beating Germany 4-2 in the Final at Wembly. Read about the dramatic game, told through newspaper headlines in this World Cup Book. Relive the excitement of the game, the drama of extra time after Germany equalised in the eighty – ninth minute, and about Hurst’s hat-trick. The newspaper coverage in this World Cup Book captures the emotion of the moment, the celebration of lifting the World Cup. A magical team, with wonderful players led by captain, Bobby Moore. As a record of this only home team World Cup victory, this book is a great piece of World Cup memorabilia.

England were controversially knocked out of the 1986 tournament by Argentina by Diego Maradona’s infamous ‘Hand of God’ goal. Despite going home early, Gary Lineker won the Golden Boot award for his six goals during the tournament.

In 1990 England came so very close to another World Cup Final appearance, losing 4-3 to Germany on penalties in the Semi-Final. In the 2002 and 2006 tournaments England got only as far as the Quarter Finals, beaten 2-1 by Brazil in 2002, and on penalties by Portugal in 2006.

These World Cup Books are a great record of the excitement and glory, as well as the lows, of World Cup competition – a fascinating read through newspaper reports of the time. They offer a unique insight into the history of the World Cup, which make these books truly memorable World Cup Gifts and a great addition to any collection of World Cup memorabilia.
