The tale of West Ham United's two 1960's cup winning teams made up entirely of English players. The last time this feat was achieved. It is a compelling book about a unique time in English football.

The young men who played in West Ham's FA Cup Final victory over Preston North End in 1964 were all born and raised in England. In each tie from the third round, only English players had had worn the Hammers over their hearts.

This feat has not been repeated since and is unlikely to be replicated in the future. A year later West Ham fielded another all-English team to win the European Cup-Winners' Cup, something no other English club has ever done.

Thus, the West Ham players of 1964 and 1965 were The First And Last Englishmen, and this is their story. It is a tale told partly from the point of view of Irons striker Alan Sealey, who was right in the middle of the action, and his team-mates.

But the voice of the supporters is just as important in this epic. West Ham's rise to European glory is portrayed through the memories of those who played and of those who watched. It is a compelling book about a unique time in English football.

About the Author

Like so many West Ham supporters Brian Belton was born only five minutes walk from the club ('I heard 'em cheering in me cradle'). As a teenager Brian worked primarily to support his habit of following West Ham around England.

In his twenties the Mayflower Centre shanghaied him to work with young people in the Canning Town area. Brian was now a youth worker and eventually was persuaded/ bullied/ bribed into taking a professional qualification with the YMCA College in London.

He gained a degree at City University and then became a Senior Youth and Community worker in Islington, whilst gaining a Masters Degree at Essex. He has published over 50 books, mainly on football.

SOLID unit and woth the price!
I can't speak for anyone but me, but this is my opinion of this product. I travel a lot. I recently went on a trip to the Mediterranean, (Italy, Spain, France), and needed a new adapter. I'm a computer engineer so I needed something that could handle a MacBook Pro, A windows gaming laptop, Bluetooth headphones, an iPad and 2 phones, (all at the same time). This handled all that with no issues. This would have earned it 4 stars because it's supposed to handle multiple items. The extra star is the fact that it is heavy enough to stay where you place it, has a good cord length, and a nice plug selection. Mine was the 2 prong (Mediterranean)base prong with a U.S 2 prong and a 3 prong version for England, Ireland ETC. The U.S and Brit version fit together like Legos and both fit snugly on the Med prongs. I have used the Med version for 14 constant days with no issues or heating problems. I'm on day 4 in the states and no issues. I can't speak on the Brit adapter yet, but I see no reason this would change. It also has a USB-C slot, in addition to 4 USB slots and the 3 pronged slots for laptops ETC. Please keep in mind, that this is JUST an adapter, it does NOT convert voltages. It's not supposed to.
