Terry Neill is the only man to manage both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal (then 1985).He was also a successful player: captain of Arsenal at twenty,captain of Northern Ireland at twenty-one,and chairman of the Professional Footballers Association ay twenty-four.His experiences as a player and as manager of two of the best-supported and most glamorous clubs in Britain provide the basis of this exceptional and absorbing book,revealing as no other has yet done the realities of big-time soccer.For the first time a top manager talks about the corruption in the game,the backhanders,the illegal payments and the Cup Final tickets that find their way onto the black market.Terry Neill also describes the dramas off the field - fisticuffs in the changing rooms and conflicts in the boardroom - and discusses the problems of handling modern players,which include gambling, drink and greed.Perhaps the biggest off-field drama is Terry Neill's own sacking,an amazing story which has never been told before.On-field dramas include the great games,the triumphs and the disasters,managing Arsenal through four Cup Finals in five years.Terry Neill tells of his own experience in the transfer market,of the frantic pursuit,sometimes successful,sometimes not,of star players like Maradona,Platini,Cruyff
and Nicholas,and he explains why the top clubs have to pay such huge sums in wages and transfer fees.Until now Terry Neill has kept silent about the main aspects of his own career,but here he reveals all in a book about soccer like no other yet published.See also rja382.
