Author Description

In 15 World Cup competitions, spanning 65 years, only 20 players have achieved the distinction of highest goal scorer. The only Englishman to win the Golden Boot has been Gary Lineker, with his six goals in Mexico in 1986. Now Gary is travelling the world, interviewing the leading goal scorers in each of the World Cup competitions since the event was inaugurated in 1930. The stars include Diego Maradona, Pele, Gerd Muller and Platini. His interviews focus on the drama and excitement of the matches in each World Cup, but also look at the cultural importance of football in each country. There are photographs from each location.
