Jim White followed the colossi of English football through a campaign of stratospheric highs and catastrophic lows. From Istanbul to Ipswich, Budapest to the Boleyn Road, he travelled with the team and with the fans, getting to the heart of the most formidable football machine this country has ever seen.
