New Zealand’s World Cup: the inside story, by the coaching duo John Adshead and Kevin Fallon ('as told to Armin Lindenberg'), was one of several books published in 1982 to celebrate the All Whites’ epic qualifying campaign and finals’ appearance. The cover featured a young Ricki Herbert – himself now the national team coach – celebrating his match-winning goal against China at Mount Smart Stadium.
