Book ID/图书代码： 11701216B88166
English Summary/英文概要： Ever wasted hours debating your all time fantasy football team? It is 2022 and England have eleven players who would match any you could choose. The unbeatable national team has reached the final of the Qatar World Cup. But one journalist is convinced there is a scandalous secret behind England’s incredible performance. His lifetime’s dream is to see the Three Lions win the World Cup. But if he pursues and exposes the shocking truth, his beloved England could be sent home in disgrace.
Suddenly this is much more than England vs Germany; it’s Love vs Duty, it’s Truth vs Happiness.
The pressure of the penalty shoot-out is nothing compared to this.
THERE’S ONLY TWO DAVID BECKHAMS is John O’Farrell’s love-letter to football; part-detective story, part-sports memoir, part-satire on the whole corrupt FIFA circus; it just made the final for the funniest football fiction ever written...
