The triumph and tragedy of the Leeds team that won the First Division championship in 1992?and what happened next When the Leeds United players celebrated winning the championship in April 1992, they could not have had any inkling how momentous the occasion was. Manchester United, losers at Liverpool that sunny Sunday afternoon, had now gone 25 years without winning the league. Howard Wilkinson’s side, promoted just two seasons ago, could bring back the glory days to Leeds. But Wilkinson would prove to be the last English manager to win the league. In 1992, football changed beyond all recognition. Twenty years on, this book looks back at the roots of that success and the amazing cast of characters who came together to fashion the triumph. Dave Simpson’s quest to catch up with the protagonists of the era, from the visionary Sergeant Wilko, top scorer Lee Chapman, and unsung heroes like Mike Whitlow and Carl Shutt (not forgetting Eric Cantona, of course), sees him unearth some extraordinary untold stories. And he finds that the last champions were also the last ordinary people to win the league, before the Premier League saw skyrocketing wages, billionaire foreign owners, and the dictates of television taking the game away from the fans. It is the brilliantly told story of the end of an era.The Last Champions Paperback edition by Dave Simpson
