The Premier League is immensely successful, a true worldwide success of the kind not enjoyed by any other English product. Such is the dominance of the Premier League that people have changed their sleeping habits on match days around the world. This fascinating book charts the rise of the Premier League. Few of its founders saw it as a worldwide phenomenon, but the power of TV media, the wider changes in Europe and influx of rich men s money (led by Roman Abramovich) propelled the Premier League into a class of its own. Yet, the Premier League s rise was a spectacular cocktail of events, few of which were properly anticipated let alone planned for.
