| Description: | Select Guide Rating AFC Bournemouth: The Fall and Rise is the ultimate rags-to-riches football story - from administration and the brink of non-league to the Premier League within six years. Manager Eddie Howe and a host of key players behind the club's surge up the leagues provide a fascinating insight into how they pulled off the feat. AFC Bournemouth: The Fall and Rise is the ultimate rags-to-riches football story, exploring how a small lower-league club on the south coast fought back against all the odds to reach the riches of the English Premier League. With fascinating insights from renowned manager Eddie Howe and all the key players, the book reflects on the club''s day of destiny against Bolton Wanderers in April 2015, when Premier League promotion was secured just six years after the club almost went out of existence. Former captain Tommy Elphick candidly reveals how Howe plotted the Cherries'' route out of the Championship, while club legend Steve Fletcher tells the emotionally charged story of his return - and the goal in 2009 that halted the club''s slide into non-league. Howe, meanwhile, provides amazing detail into how he took a club on the brink to the top of the beautiful game. |
