From the Publisher:

Before Joe Cole, Dennis Wise and Frank Leboeuf were 'Here, There and Every F***** Where', there was Charlie Cooke. He arrived at Chelsea in 1966 as a replacement for club favourite Terry Venables and promptly delighted the fans with his superb ball skills, his
searing runs and perceptive crosses but most of all with his magical body swerve that triggered a collective mega-decibel sigh from The Shed. They called him The Magician, The Maestro and The Wizard, or just Charlie, Charlie, Charlie Cooke.

Cooke became a pivotal member of the mercurial Chelsea side of the late 1960s and '70s, playing alongside Peter Bonetti, Alan Hudson and Peter Osgood. The epic two-match 1970 FA Cup final against arch-enemies Leeds remains to this day the second-most-watched
television event ever in the United Kingdom.

Like many of the era, Cooke finished his career in America, where he played with and against the likes of George Best and Pele. But unlike most of the other British players, Cooke stayed on in the USA, helping the country to develop as a footballing nation.

Charlie Cooke: My Life is an insightful, exciting and entertaining account of a special footballer, once seen never forgotten.
