Items related to United We Fall
United We Fall is the unique story of life inside football, told from behind the scenes of one of Britain`s most legendary clubs – Leeds United. It is also the true story of the childhood fan who became chairman of his Premiership team.
Peter Ridsdale, one of the game`s most controversial and colourful figures, oversaw the most dramatic and talked-about period in Leeds United`s history. In this compelling account, he writes about how the dream spectacularly unravelled when the club went into financial meltdown. It is a fall from grace which speaks volumes for the politicking, pressures, successes and failures within the professional game today.
This book is like reading the confidential files of a Premiership football chairman, detailing the characters, the prima donnas, the fall-outs, the outrageous transfer demands, and the secret deals. Then there is the Leeds United trial, a near-death plane crash, and the fatal riots from Galatasaray – and the tale of how one chairman fought to keep a club together throughout it all.
