1966 - the year of English sporting legend. But, those 12 months witnessed so much more than the all-important 30 July at Wembley. This book revisits the time, recreates the atmosphere, talks to those who were there (at Wembley and beyond), and builds a picture of what we argued over, ate, worried about, listened to, wore and watched in 1966.

"Britain in 1966" is peppered with snapshots of the year - for example, the ten most popular films, TV programmes, West End shows, cars, books, sporting events, cigarettes, chocolates - and how much they cost.
