Biografier
An eye-opening behind-the-scenes account of English football’s inner workings and Ipswich Town in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, told by former Ipswich and Football League chairman David Sheepshanks.
Man on a Mission traces Sheepshanks’ remarkable journey through nearly a quarter of a century in leadership roles at the heart of the game, revealing the agony and ecstasy of running a football club.
Read and discover:
• A rich narrative packed with anecdotes and a cast ranging from Bobby Robson and Alex Ferguson to Elton John and Mark Knopfler • What really happened when Ipswich was sold to Marcus Evans • How Sheepshanks spearheaded the Football League’s modernisation during the turbulent years after the Premier League breakaway • How his determination to build the FA’s St George’s Park is enabling England to be winners again • His candid views on the vested interests and institutional inertia that hold the game back, especially in coach education
Sheepshanks was a major figure in English football for almost a quarter of a century. This revelatory memoir is a must-read not only for Ipswich supporters, but for anyone who is interested in how the game is really run.
