Just One More Goal: The autobiography of David Pleat
by David Pleat
€ 14.99
ISBN: 9781785909917
David Pleat has lived a life at the heart of football. From
his debut as an England Schoolboy international in 1960 to his time as a scout
for Tottenham Hotspur up to 2024, his is a story that touches every facet of
the professional game. At Luton Town, he is perhaps best remembered for dancing
on the pitch after a win over Manchester City secured the club's top-flight
survival in 1983. However, his fifteen years at Kenilworth Road were about much
more than that.
In 1986, Pleat was given his shot at the big-time at
Tottenham. But for a fabricated tabloid scandal, his sole season as manager -
which featured a third-placed finish, an FA Cup final and a League Cup
semi-final - might have been the start of a transformation at White Hart Lane.
After spells at Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday, Pleat twice returned to
Tottenham.
Here, he gives his frank assessment of his chairmen, Alan
Sugar and Daniel Levy, and an insider's account of the rise and fall of
managers from Glenn Hoddle to Jose Mourinho.
However, Just One More Goal is not just an
account of one man's lifelong obsession with football. It is the story of an
evolving game, one that moved away from instinct and spontaneity towards
something colder and more technical. David Pleat's memoir is the perfect answer
to the question of how modern football became what it is today.
