Product Description

Synopsis
His now famous resignation from his position as Chief Executive of the Football Association brought to an end a long and distinguished career for Graham Kelly. In this book, he defends his involvement in the plot to "buy" the World Cup voting rights of the Welsh FA, and reveals the covert plot by some leading figures in British football to oust him from office. Kelly's inside information with regard to the power struggles at Lancaster Gate is unrivalled and he holds nothing back in this compelling look behind-the-scenes. He talks at length about the legacy of Bert Millichip, the plans for restructuring the game, the buying of the National Stadium, his views on leading figures such as Irving Scholar and Ken Bates, as well as the ever-present battles for supremacy.

1.0 out of 5 stars You would expect this biography..., 7 Sep 2000
By A Customer
You would expect this biography to be about the football world in general. Wrong. It seems to be more contented with Graham Kelly whining about people within the FA and hence makes for a VERY dull read. Certainly one to avoid......

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring Boring Kelly!, 29 Oct 1999
After all the hype, the newspaper serialisation and the snide retorts from Alan Shearer, Kelly's memoirs from Lytham St Annes and Lancaster Gate come as something of a disappointment to say the least. Many people, like myself, will be attracted to this book because it appears to be about football. Don't be fooled. Kelly's book is about the Football Association. As a result, "Sweet FA" is almost exclusively about bureaucracy, committees, red-tape and back-biting. Which doesn't make for particularly interesting reading, especially when one considers Kelly's rather moribund prosaic style, and even worse, his weak sense of humour.

The only parts of the book worth searching out are the chapters on the Alan Shearer/Neil Lennon incident, and the dismissal of Glenn Hoddle (which of course happened just weeks after Kelly left the FA). However, if you're going to invest a lot of money in the memoirs of a football bureaucrat, Jimmy Hill's recently published autobiography is a lot more compelling.
