The Crazy Gang by Dave Bassett
Promoted to the Football League in 1977, Wimbledon FC was a small team from south London that against the odds went all the way to the top of the First Division, then to win the FA Cup, in only just over a decade. With no money, scant resources and a blend of youth players and offcuts from other clubs, they were christened 'Rag-Arse Rovers'.
"A barrel of laughs" The Sun "As you'd expect, it's warts and all, muck and bullets and any other cliche you care to mention. Don't dare miss it!" Sheffield Star
