Triumphs, Treachery and Toilet Rolls : The Francis Lee Autobiography

Triumphs, Treachery and Toilet Rolls is the astonishing life story of football legend Francis Lee. With searing candour, Lee reveals how he overcame treachery and betrayals to prevail. This is Franny - uncensored. This remarkable man rose from the humblest of beginnings to become a top-class international footballer, a multi-millionaire businessman and entrepreneur, a successful racehorse trainer and then a reborn football man, returning as Manchester City's chairman to steer the club towards its glorious 21st-century renaissance at The Etihad. From a childhood among the mills around Bolton, Lee faced up to authority and putdowns at school, at Bolton Wanderers, and to later betrayals in the boardroom, to fulfil his dreams at City, Derby County and in selling toilet rolls to the masses. This is the story of a man who crammed more into one life than anyone could aspire to - told for the first time, in his own words.
