Calling the shots

Dein, David

£12.99

The long-awaited memoir from international football ambassador, former co-owner of Arsenal FC and legend of the game: David Dein. There’s no doubt that Dein has been one of the most significant and influential figures in British football for over three decades – operating at club and international level. He was a prime mover in the creation of the Premier League, hugely influential within the England set-up and, of course, was the mastermind – along with Arsène Wenger – in creating the glory days of Arsenal Football Club, leading the team for almost a quarter of a century. Connected to the most senior figures across the global game as a friend, rival, advisor, and collaborator, Dein has been central to major turning points in the game. ‘Calling the Shots’ is part memoir, part inspirational meditation on leadership, teamwork and how to invest in people.
