Description

In 1961 Tottenham Hotspur became the first team to win "The Double" of FA Cup and League Championship in the 20th century. This book tells the inside story of the double-winning campaign through extensive interviews with players, directors, managers and fans. More than a book about one club, the book describes the golden age of the game at the dawn of the 1960s and should appeal to all football fans.
