World Cup 1966
Excuse me blowing my own trumpet, but I promise I am the only person who could have written this book about the 1966 World Cup final. I was the only newspaper reporter to get into the England dressing-room after the final whistle following England's dramatic 4-2 victory over West Germany. Hat-trick hero Geoff (now Sir Geoff) Hurst is the only person left standing from the England team that triumphed that July 30 day, and he has provided the introduction to this unique book in which I give a minute-by-minute description of that historic day. Notice three 'onlys'. Quite deliberate

Norman Giller
Author of more than 120 books, a former Fleet Street sportswriter and trusted friend of the stars.
Norman Giller has worn many hats over six decades: journalist, author, sports historian, television scriptwriter, and above all a storyteller. As a young Fleet Street reporter in the 1960s, he covered the golden era of English football, becoming chief football correspondent for the Daily Express and forging friendships with legends like World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore, hat-trick hero Geoff Hurst and goal-scoring icon Jimmy Greaves. That front-row access to sporting history paved the way for Giller’s next chapter as a prolific author and, in time, the maestro of ghostwriting.
Since going freelance in his mid-thirties, Norman Giller has become the go-to collaborator for sports stars and celebrities seeking to tell their stories. He has written or co-written over 120 books, including more than 20 with Jimmy Greaves, four with heavyweight champion Sir Henry Cooper, and seven novelisations of the classic Carry On comedy films. Giller even lent his wordsmith talents to comedy: he spent nine years ghostwriting a popular sports column for the legendary comedian Eric Morecambe.
Giller’s talents have never been confined to the printed page. He spent 14 years as a scriptwriter for the classic TV series This Is Your Life, helping to honour everyone from sporting heroes to showbiz stars. He also devised and co-produced sports-themed television specials, and became a master of the quiz – for example, he set The Sun’s sports quiz for a decade, and his jumbo sports crossword has run in The Times for an extraordinary 41 consecutive years. As a publicist, Giller represented world boxing champions like Muhammad Ali
and Frank Bruno, and he once was even interviewed by London’s notorious Kray Twins, Ronnie and Reggie, for a PR job (a gig he was relieved not to get).
