Roy Bentley was a feted international goal scorer. Having served in the Royal Navy during World War Two, Roy became one of the heroes of his generation. Having been part of Newcastle's 'Bank of England' forward line alongside the likes of Jakie Milburn, Roy represented England in the World Cup, and scored a hat trick for his country at Wembley.
This is a autobiography but is co-written with by writer and football journalist Jim Drury, whose previous three books, on British Rock bands The Stranglers (2001), Ian Dury & The Blockheads (2003), and Squeeze (2004) have sold almost 30,00 copies. This is Jim's first football book.
