England 1966-2016 Khudael Ashraf

Half a century. Five decades. FIFTY YEARS. England fans know when their football team last won the World Cup. It was so long ago that it was broadcast in black and white. England 1966-2016 invites readers to join the author on a poetic journey from the national side's most glorious afternoon and their failure to match that achievement ever since. There is a poem for every tournament alongside results of England's performances. You can revel in the moment that David Beckham scored the penalty against Argentina in 2002 or when the team failed to qualify for Euro 2008. Managers and captains also get poetic justice as Khudael Ashraf embarks on this fifty year history of the England national football team.
