Peter Richardson, a teacher for many years knew he had what it took to become a professional football manager. He only lacked one thing, the necessary qualifications. This didn’t deter him applying to become manager of the national team and every single professional football league club in the country. He was sure his understanding of the game, passion and anecdotes about life would have been enough to land him his dream job when he wrote personally to CEO’s and owners of clubs asking to become the boss. Stories about crashing his Punto, being willing to take cash in hand, being happy to commute 340 miles to work and his ability to do many local accents are all qualities he believed would help him secure his dream job. But was he successful? This book compiles the 93 letters he wrote and the varied responses he received from the football clubs.
