Book Synopsis England's Greatest Defender by : Alfie Potts Harmer
Download or read book England's Greatest Defender written by Alfie Potts Harmer and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost universally considered the greatest defender England has ever produced by those who saw him play, Neil Franklin was a football superstar in the 40s and 50s whose name has never taken its rightful place amongst other football legends of our time. Capped 27 times by England, setting a record for consecutive England appearances, Franklin sent shockwaves through the British game when he left Britain for Bogota in 1950, just months before England were set to make their World Cup debut in Brazil. Whilst the national team proceeded to be humiliated by the United States in South America, trying out ten inferior centre-halves over the next four years and suffering two devastating defeats at the hands of the Hungarians, football in England would never be the same again. This meticulously researched and fascinating book gives Neil Franklin the place in sporting history that he deserves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "THE GREATEST CENTRE-HALF I EVER HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF PLAYING WITH,THE INCOMPARABLE NEIL FRANKLIN" SIR STANLEY MATTHEWS"THE BEST DEFENDER I EVER PLAYED WITH OR AGAINST-YES,THAT GOOD" SIR TOM FINNEYStanley Matthews, Tom Finney and Gordon Banks all named the same man as the greatest centre-half they ever laid their eyes upon. That man was Neil Franklin, a footballing visionary whose career collapsed at its peak. When Franklin donned his usual number five shirt in front of more than 133,000 spectators at Hampden Park for a 1-0 England victory over the Scots, he set an all time record for consecutive England appearances, as well as helping confirm England's place at the 1950 World Cup. He would have been the first man on the plane and the first name on the team sheet for England as they made their World Cup bow, but Franklin ruled himself out of his own volition. In a flash, the fate of Franklin's career and English football in its entirety was irrevocably damaged.Written along with the help of Neil's son, former England internationals, club team mates, club chairmen and numerous others who have generously provided a huge deal of valuable material, this is the story of England's colourful unsung hero of football.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did you spend the long, hot, World Cup summer of 2018? For Jonathan Northcroft, chief football writer of The Sunday Times, it was 35 unforgettable days spent criss-crossing Russia, covering the biggest sporting event on the planet. He reported on a new England team: young, daring and successful both on the pitch, where they defied expectations to reach the semi-final, and off it, where they took on reporters in a darts challenge. He discovered a different Russia to the hostile state he was warned about in pre-tournament security briefings: open, friendly and football mad. And he experienced the rush of working as a football writer at the very top of the game: meeting the players, going to the games, and battling the deadlines. This is his personal account of a month when we dropped everything to watch the best World Cup for a generation.
