The Greatest of Great Escapes

Om boken

The Greatest of Great Escapes: Rotherham United’s Finest Hour is the story of one of the most astounding comebacks in modern football.

After a meteoric rise through the divisions, Rotherham United were a second-tier side once more. There has never been a dull moment in the Millers’ recent history and another entertaining season was in store.

Seemingly destined for the drop on the back of a disastrous start to their 2015/16 league campaign, the Championship strugglers defied all odds. The club went in search of their third manager in the space of a single season after the departures of both Steve Evans and Neil Redfearn. Neil Warnock stepped into the breach to embark on his biggest ask to date in the club’s hour of need. He soon pulled off what was, by his own admission, one of his most celebrated achievements. The Millers came out fighting for their lives to secure survival when all hope appeared to be lost.

This book relives the twists and turns that punctuated Rotherham’s resurgence.
