From Word of Sport:
Davies seemed to be the ultimate survivor during his 13 years at the FA and was at the heart of many of the controversial incidents that seemed to occur on an almost weekly basis. He's free to lift the lid on those incidents but whether it will be on the basis of insight or self-justification remains to be seen.
From the Publisher:
From England dressing room to FA boardroom, David Davies has enjoyed access all areas in football. He has known everyone from David Beckham to Wayne Rooney, from Sir Alex Fergusson to Sven Goran Eriksson, as well as legends like Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly and George Best. He has lived through all English football's triumphs, tragedies, farces and scandals of modern times.
Now, with the national sport perceived by many to be in crisis, no one is better placed to shed light on what has happened and why. His is a tale of fake sheikhs, fickle secretaries and beauty queens, and of how a boy from the Euston Road fell in love with football, and how he came to run one of the most high-profile organisations in the land.

It's A Fact!
At 6 foot 7 Kevin Francis was the tallest player in the football league. And so said every newspaper article and programme feature written about him throughout his career. He's now a long distance lorry driver.
