Synopsis:

England hero George Cohen played his entire professional footballing career at his beloved Fulham FC - something almost unheard of in modern football. The George Cohen Suite at Craven Cottage bears testimony to his commitment to the London club, just down the road from his birthplace. Also to be found at The Cottage is his coveted 1966 World Cup Winner's medal, on display at the club museum. One of the foundations of Sir Alf Ramsay's England Lions of 1966, George formed the bedrock along with Ray Wilson at the back of the team. George Best once described Cohen as "the best right-back I have played against". In this autobiography, Cohen talks about professional football through the fifties and sixties and the glory of World Cup triumph - drawing comparisons between the current England team and the '66 winners - as well as his views on modern football and tactics. His battle with cancer, his slow recovery and the tragedy of his brother's murder (the father of the England rubgy international Ben Cohen) add poignancy to the story.
