Description - Burn Budgie Byrne, Football Inferno by Brian Belton
In this fascinating new biography, Brian Belton tells the story of Budgie's life and career, focussing on the football and resisiting the tempatation to cast Johnny as a 'loveable rogue'. There was much more to Budgie than his life off the pitch. This is a book about a football hero who played like a demon and was adored by fans of all clubs he played for. It was at West Ham though where he is most associated. At Upton Park, he delighted fans as he made goals, scored goals and put in fearless tackles. He was on a par with the England legends Moore, Peters and Hurst but was left out of the 1962 World Cup squad in Chile so never fulfilled his potential.
