Inhaltsangabe:

Throughout his career and life Gary Sprake, the Leeds United and Welsh International goalkeeper, has been a controversial figure. Gary is best known for his five or six mistakes, even though he played over 500 games at the top level. To ridicule Sprake was an effective way to ridicule Leeds United. However, this prevalent public image is not a viewpoint shared by other contemporaries and opponents who argue Gary was in fact one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation. Written by his nephew Stuart, with Gary's full commitment, this book explores the reasons why Gary has been much maligned, and looks at the controversy of bribery and corruption.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: His nephew Stuart Sprake and co-author Tim Johnson both Lecture in further education. Stuart teaches Social Policy and Sociology whilst Tim lectures in History and Politics. They are both keen followers of football in general and Leeds Utd in particular.
