Geoff Hurst, now 83, remains the last living member of England's World Cup-winning team, a stark reminder of the players' mortality and their legacy.
The book reveals how players like Martin Peters faced resentment over club disputes, and how the FA previously treated these footballing icons poorly despite their achievements.
In a revealing look at the past, many former World Cup players, including Hurst, adapted to life after football by taking on everyday jobs, contrasting today's player wealth.
Despite their monumental success, players like Moore and Peters received little recognition or financial reward, illustrating how fame did not equate to fortune in their era.
