Going to the Wire: English Football's Finest Final Day Acts of Escapology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781801507080)

It's all here, as Tom Brogan looks at the drama of late, late goals, on those days when fans can spend more time with ears pressed to radios, or eyes glued to mobile phones, all for news from another ground! The passion, the shredded nerves, bitten fingernails, the absurdities of blatant time-wasting, fake news of 'goals' elsewhere and ultimately teams coming back from the dead.

Relegation is all part of the game, but one that no fan wants their team to get dragged into, but great escapes can make heroes of the unlikeliest of players. Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Middlesbrough, Burnley, Derby County and Coventry City are just a few of the clubs whose final-day escapes make the cut in Going to the Wire, as Brogan reveals just how close some clubs got to falling through the relegation trap door and what it took to avoid it.
