Featuring tales that haven''t been published before straight from the mouths of those who were there, this fascinating book includes:

  • How Sam Allardyce turned the Reebok Stadium into a fortress and a place of torment for the likes of Arsene Wenger, Rafa Benitez and even Sir Alex Ferguson
  • Stories of team-mate bust-ups, boardroom fall-outs, scientific methods, transfer negotiations and even dining on bulls' testicles after a 5-0 win at Leicester
  • Famous moments in the club's history, such as the despair as Bolton lost three semi-finals in the space of three months, a play-off final victory, the great escape from relegation and the mix of English grit and international flair that took Bolton to the European Cup, where they faced the giants of Marseille

Measured Spirit is a must for any fan of the Barclays era' of Premiership football, and a great insight into one of the sport's most famous characters.
