The History of the World Cup

This lively history of the world’s greatest sporting event outside the Olympics is told by veteran football journalist and historian Brian Glanville, and read by the former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson. There is a full account of each of the Finals since the first event in 1922 – the goals, the controversies, the rivalries – with the national anthems of each host country setting the scene to the 2002 event in Japan and Korea.
