All Played Out

More about the book

Publication Date: 5 Nov 1998 Once you could ignore football, avoid the back pages, turn the telly off, leave the pub. Now that's not possible because on 4th July in Turin's Stadio degli Alpi, Gazza cried, England lost and football changed forever. Pete Davies witnessed all of this at first hand. The players, the hooligans, the agents, the journalists, the fans - the full cast of football's rowdy circus. For nine months he had access to the England squad and their manager, Bobby Robson, talking to them freely about their hopes, their fears, their methods and their lives. So this is the real story, the unedited version. All Played Out - the first and last book to give the inside story of the greatest show on earth.
