2024 will go down in the history of the England national team as the year that not only did the senior side reach another major final but also the year when Gareth Southgate's reign in charge came to an end.
A new analyis of Southgate's time in charge, and how it encompassed not only some major achievements on the pitch but plenty of talking points off it, has been written by David Winner in Excerpts from a New England which is available now.
Prior to this summer's European Championships, another look at the Southgate years was penned by Rob Draper and Jonathan Northcroft.
Their book - Dear England: The Real Story of the Three Lions Rebirth - has contributions from a number of those who witnessed Southgate's quiet revolution at close quarters.
Of course the Euros didn't give Gareth the ultimate happy ending and England's wait for a major trophy will now be at least 60 years by the time the 2026 World Cup comes around (double the years of hurt that Baddiel and Skinner sung about).
The last surviving member of the 1966 side, Sir Geoff Hurst, has written about that triumph, manager Sir Alf Ramsey and his team-mates, in the Last Boy of '66 which was published late last month.
2024 was also the year in which Sven-Goran Eriksson sadly passed away but his story has been told, one final time, in A Beautiful Game in which the Swede reflects on his life with author Bengt Berg.
