Biographies

Offering a painfully honest insight into the male psyche, ‘The 12th Man’ is a fascinating account of how there can be far more to a die-hard football fan than meets the eye.

Most fans don't choose their football club. In fact, the majority of them don’t even choose football itself. Becoming a Leeds United fan was a rite of passage for Steven Dawson, and even had he known the scale of the drama that would unfold after he became a fan, he would never have supported another club.
