Sinopsis
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.

Acerca del autor
Peter Ridsdale, a renowned businessman, is one of football's most colourful and controversial characters. Born and bred in Yorkshire, he was the ardent Leeds United supporter who became a non-executive director at the club from 1992 to 1997, after which he took the helm as chairman – a tenure that lasted five years until his resignation in 2003.
In those five unforgettable years under his stewardship, Leeds reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1999–2000, and then the Champions League in 2000–1, and never finished lower than fifth in the FA Premiership League.
Peter is currently the chairman of Championship side Cardiff City, but still lives in northern England with his family.
