Since England's famous 1966 World Cup victory, Alf Ramsey has been regarded as the greatest of all British football managers. By placing Ramsey in an historical context, award-winning author Leo McKinstry provides a thought-provoking insight into the world of professional football and the fabric of British society over the span of his life.

Ramsey's life is a romantic story of heroism. Often derided by lesser men, he overcame the prejudice against his social background to reach the summit of world football.

The son of a council dustman from Essex, Ramsey had been through a tough upbringing. After army service during the war, he became a professional footballer, enjoying a successful career with Southampton and Tottenham and winning 32 England caps.

But it was as manager of Ipswich Town, and then the architect for England's 1966 World Cup triumph, that Ramsey will be most remembered. The tragedy was that his battles with the FA would ultimately lead to his downfall. He was sacked after England failed to qualify for the 1974 World Cup and was subsequently ostracised by the football establishment. He died a broken man in 1999 in the same modest Ipswich semi he'd lived in for most of his life.

Drawing on extensive interviews with his closest friends and colleagues in the game, author Leo McKinstry will help unravel the true character of this fascinating and often complex football legend.

Vaseline Glazed
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Absolutely love this body oil! It leaves my skin with a beautiful golden glow without feeling greasy. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and keeps my skin hydrated and soft. The vanilla and cocoa scent is warm and long-lasting. Perfect for adding a subtle shimmer and a radiant finish to any look. Highly recommend!

Nice product but doesn’t look good on everyone I guess.
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m kinda in denial trying to convince myself I don’t look greasy, but I do. Bought it because of the Youtube ad, I guess it just looks better and softer in darker skin. I look oily, not glowy. You will stick it EVERYWHERE, from your friend’s car to a random wall whenever you go. It’s oily but not sticky. Smells nice and has a lovely glitter to it that I am invested in convincing myself I look good with. Maybe my skin doesn’t contribute to the cause, but I’ll use it every time I go out because I am the most stubborn woman in the world and I am just CONVINCED I can look as smooth and beautiful as the girl in the ad. Someday I’ll tan, who knows.

Glowy skin hydration
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Golden goddess results unlocked !!!! If you’re not tan it adds a nice glow. But if you’re tan ( fake or not) this product will make your skin look hydrated, glowy, bronzed and highlighted. I’m on the older side so I have some crepey skin on my inner arms, this makes it look 100 times better. I also only self tan, I find this helps my “tan” last longer. Has a nice tropical scent that gradually fades.

Soft Bronzy Glow
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I received a stinky oil in a subscription box, I love how soft it makes my dry diabetic skin feel. Oil leaves skin much softer than a moisturizer does, however, I was put off by the strong magnesium smell. I found this Vaseline Oil online and decided to try it instead. Firstly, the smell is so much more enjoyable and the shine it left behind is unmatched. I used it directly after a shower, applying it to my skin while I was still partially wet. Doing this, traps moisturize in the skin and leaves behind a beautiful bronzy glow. Unlike my moisturizer, I find I do not need to reapply daily, instead I only use every 2 to 3 days because it keepsy skin so very soft. I would recommend this to any diabetic with dry skin.
