- Book Synopsis
- Man on a Mission is the inside story of David Sheepshanks' time leading both Ipswich Town and the Football League, and how his drive to build the FA's St George's Park is enabling England to be winners again. There were ecstatic highs, like finally winning promotion at Wembley after three successive play-off defeats, finishing fifth in the Premier League and beating Inter Milan; but also the painful lows of the realities of life in the Championship caused by the ever-widening financial gulf between the top two flights. Packed with anecdotes and a cast ranging from Bobby Robson and Alex Ferguson to Elton John and Mark Knopfler, this book lifts the lid on what really happened when Ipswich was sold to Marcus Evans, and follows Sheepshanks on his fascinating journey through nearly a quarter of a century in leadership roles in the corridors of football power.
