Those Feet by David Winner

With the same insightful eye he brought to his bestselling study of Dutch soccer, Winner shows how Victorian sexual anxiety underlies England's many World Cup failures. He reveals the connection between Roy Keane and a soldier who never lived but died in the Charge of the Light Brigade. And he demonstrates how thick mud and wet leather shaped the contours of the English soul.
David Winner is the author of Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Soccer, also published by Overlook.
