Former Coventry City manager Peter Reid is one of the most revered and colourful characters to emerge from England over the last 50 years.
As a player, he established himself as one of the leading midfielders of his era, being named PFA Player of the Year in 1985 and credited with being the fourth best footballer in the world.
He won numerous honours with Everton, including two league titles, one FA Cup and one European Cup Winners Cup during the most successful period in the Blues history. He also won 13 England caps, playing at the 1986 World Cup where a date with destiny at the hand and feet of Diego Maradona would provide a lasting, painful memory.
As a manager, his journey has taken him from Manchester to Sunderland, India to Thailand, each step a voyage into the unknown and sometimes into difficulties and even controversy.
This is the unique story of a footballer who got to the top and yet never forgot his roots, who mixed with the powerful but has never been afraid to challenge authority.
Told with typical forthrightness, Peter's book will capture the imagination of football fans far and wide.
