The Miners' Triumph: The First English World Cup Win in Football History

By Martin Connolly

1966 is a football date imprinted on every football fan's mind. It is thought of as the first English World Cup Win. This account of a team of miners from an obscure English village will cause that view to be revised. It is a David and Goliath story that is amazing. A story that is full of courage and determination. In the context of football history this book retells the tremendous victory that was achieved by a bunch of North Eastern miners, who in 1909 and 1911, took on the challenge of travelling to Italy for a World Football Tournament, and came back as champions!
