Summary

*THE INSIDE STORY OF HOW ENGLAND REACHED THE EURO 2024 FINAL*

*Written by the European Football Writer of the Year and the Chief Football Correspondent at the Sunday Times*

*Includes interviews with Gareth Southgate, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, John Stones, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling, Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville and many more*

*Learn how England broke their penalty shootout hoodoo*

*Discover Southgate's work behind the scenes to transform the team's culture*

*Find out how Harry Kane was identified as a leader by Southgate during his first camp*

*Uncover how Bellingham was picked out as a top talent at an early age and nurtured through the youth system*

Under the stewardship of Gareth Southgate and captained by Harry Kane, England reached two finals, a semi-final and a quarter-final in four tournaments. After years of underperforming, how did they become genuine contenders at major tournaments?

Dear England: The Real Story of the Three Lions Rebirth delves into Southgate's turbulent journey to becoming England manager, his emergence as a waistcoated cult figure and becoming the country's most successful manager since Sir Alf Ramsey. Award-winning football writers Jonathan Northcroft and Rob Draper have had extraordinary access to the England team during Southgate's tenure and take us behind the scenes as they give the complete account of the highs and lows of Southgate's reign and the sea change that took place throughout the entire England set up.

For the first time, this is the real story of England's evolution both on and off the pitch, revealing how Southgate transformed a failing culture and empowered young people to write their own history.

Fantastic Book

Really well written book, that takes you on a memorable journey over the past few years of the England national team…. Only wish is that they had held off and added the final chapter about after the recent euros!!
