The Double: The Inside Story of Spurs' Triumphant 1960-61 Season (Mainstream Sport)

When the legendary Danny Blanchflower climbed the steps to the Royal box at Wembley to collect the FA Cup in 1961, he made football history—Tottenham Hotspur had become the first team to win "The Double" of FA Cup and League Championship in the 20th century. This compelling book tells the inside story of the double-winning campaign through extensive interviews with players, directors, managers, and fans. Like Hunter Davies' ground-breaking The Glory Game, this is more than just a book about one club. It describes the golden age of the game at the dawn of the 1960s.
