Author Description

Sir Bob Murray is the former Chairman of Sunderland AFC and the visionary behind the Stadium, Academy and Beacon of Light, as well as playing a leading role in the development of Wembley Stadium and St George’s Park.<br/><br/>This is his story – from the terraced and dust-choked streets of 1950s Consett to building a kitchen and property empire, from boardroom battles at Roker Park to the creation of the magnificent Stadium of Light.<br/><br/>A story of a remarkable philanthropist and advocate for education, who left school with little to no prospects but against all odds succeeded in business and provided the platform to turn a faltering football club into one ready to challenge in a new and exciting football era.<br/><br/>A story so good that he’d do it all again!
