England's Calamity? by Chris Jones

England's Calamity? challenges the standard view that England's famous 6-3 loss to Hungary in 1953 kick-started a revolution. Chris Jones examines the different voices, arguments, biases, myths, agendas and responsibilities to bring you a fresh perspective on an endlessly discussed moment in the history of the England team.

"In England's Calamity Chris Jones takes the 1953 England v Hungary match as a centre point in developmentHe cleverly divides things up between how football was before the match, what happened on the day and its future ramifications. An enjoyable read."
