Broken Dreams: Vanity, Greed and the Souring of British Football

TV has transformed football beyond all recognition but, according to investigative biographer and historian Tom Bower, where there's brass there's muck. Broken Dreams is Bower's controversial account of how some of the sport's most high-profile managers and chairmen have been getting their snouts in the trough at the expense of their clubs and the game. Focussing on the likes of Terry Venables, Brian Clough, Ken Bates and Harry Redknapp, Rio Ferdinand, famous chairmen, managers and a huge cast of FA officials, club bigwigs and super-agents--Bower draws together threads from existing sources, with newly acquired information from over 200 interviews, weaving a compelling tale of vanity, greed and corruption at the heart of the football establishment.
