Follow sporting icon John Charles, from Welsh mining childhood to stardom with Wales and Juventus.

The incredible story of sporting icon John Charles, from his childhood in a tough Welsh mining community to superstardom with the Wales national team and Italian soccer royalty Juventus. After a youth apprenticeship with Swansea, John is spotted by a Leeds scout, and helps win them promotion to the first division. He goes on to become a legend in Italy, honored in their Hall Of Fame above legends like Michel Platini, Zinedine Zidane and Diego Maradona. And yet today, most soccer fans outside of Wales, Turin and Yorkshire have never heard his name. This book hopes to go some way towards putting that right.
