Hayward's biography of the England football team, based on interviews with past and present players and coaches, including Alan Shearer and Gareth Southgate, gives a vivid portrait of the team's story from its 1872 inception to its preparation for the 2022 World Cup, reliving highlights such as the 1966 World Cup victory and the low points  - including when the players were obliged to give the Nazi salute in 1938. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand England football and why it means so much to so many.

Hayward is in conversation with Daniel Gallan, an award-winning freelance journalist whose work regularly features in The Guardian and the BBC as well as the Telegraph, CNN, ESPN and other leading global publications, Daniel also lectures in Sports Journalism at St Mary's University.
