The book is written by esteemed sports historian Norman Giller, with the support of an on-the-spot team of Fleet Street reporters and his statistician son, Michael.

Norman says: "I wrote it as the finals were in progress, so when I started I had no idea which teams would be in the final. It reads more like a whowunit than a whodunit!"

Profusely illustrated and featuring original graphics by artist Art Turner, the book is an instant record of the greatest football show on earth. Every squad is included, with the players' individual clubs, and there are quotes and comments from the main personalities.

The book, uniquely, includes running comments and predictions made online during the tournament from fans around the world, and there is particularly savage criticism of England's poor performances.

We have organised with Norman to let you have the 18.95 book for just ten pounds. Contact him direct at author@normangillerbooks.co.uk and he will respond.

The book cuts through all the hype, and records exactly what happened without bias or jingoism.
