Chris Waddle
The Authorised Biography
The book and protective dust jacket are in excellent condition. There is a very small nick on the dust jacket bottom right, hard to notice.
While it's true that Chris Waddle's missed penalty in the 1990 World Cup semi-final against West Germany led to England's elimination, it's important to remember that even the greatest players have missed crucial penalties.
In fact, many England legends, including David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, and Frank Lampard, have missed important penalties for their country. Waddle was actually a brilliant player who had an exceptional career.
He played 62 times for England Won three French league titles with Marseille Was one of the most skillful English players of his generation, making history as one of the first successful English players abroad His £4.5 million transfer to Marseille in 1989 was one of the highest fees ever at the time That one penalty miss, while memorable, shouldn't define his entire career.
He showed incredible courage to even step up in such a high-pressure moment. And interestingly, he's spoken openly about that miss over the years, showing great character in how he's dealt with it. Remember, football is a team sport – England's elimination wasn't down to just one kick, but rather the culmination of an entire match and tournament. Waddle's contributions to English football far outweigh that one moment in Turin.
