1/3 million people have watched the drama of the Play-Offs unfold every season, since their inception in 1987. The Play-Offs transformed the fortunes of English football from a desperate basket case into the most popular league in the world. This book analyses the human stories, both uplifting and soul-destroying, behind the GBP134 million match. Its history is sprinkled with the highly controversial and the downright quirky; a story that keeps the pulses racing from the origins in the bleak mid-1980s all the way to the glitz and glamour of the present day.
