These were days when young fans could follow their dreams, a time when your local side might - \u003ci\u003ejust might\u003c\/i\u003e - become a contender on the global stage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book revisits that golden ten-year span and examines the idiosyncrasies and striking similarities in these three wise men of the North East - three of the greatest-ever English football managers - and how, in the form of three unfashionable, provincial clubs, they made the ordinary become extraordinary. Not only did they deliver success on the pitch but a sense of pride in the communities of the towns and cities they put on the map. In doing so, they offered lessons in management and leadership that still resonate today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pitch Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781801506854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256","brand":"Ben Dobson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44608349569205,"sku":"9781801506854","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5f846516-89d2-425e-b858-523b777375a3.jpg?v=1725374342","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/too-good-to-be-forgotten-three-wise-men-from-footballs-golden-era-9781801506854","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
