The author evokes all the emotions that carried him to the extraordinary expression of joy which enchanted the nation when he danced his unforgettable victory jig at Wembley at the moment of World Cup success. He poignantly re-captures the anguish of the Munich air tragedy and he revisits the tough streets of Collyhurst. In "After the Ball", he talks about his lifelong affair with the game, but is also shockingly candid about the other side of the football dream. The remarkable life of one of the most charismatic members of England's World Cup winning team is aptly celebrated in this frank and fascinating autobiography.
