There's only one Peter Ridsdale, 28 April 2007

By	Jon Leigh "TSJ" (France) - See all my reviews

What a man. Astute financial management of the highest order. The man who the players used to call "Father Christmas" deserves to be knighted for his contribution to this great day for English Football - April 28th 2007: The day Leeds United were dumped into the old Third Division in front of their own hyper-intelligent fans. Special mentions should also go to Ken Bates and Dennis Wise. It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of blokes.

Living the dream, 18 April 2006

By	Cowboy Joe "uuuuuuuuuum, let me think" (Mexico) - See all my reviews

As Chelsea prepare to win back to back championships it makes a ideal way to relax and put your feet up and enjoy this 'living the dream' masterpiece. Risdale takes Leeds on a journey they will never forget, only to be saved by Chelsea's Ken Bates. When I was young I asked my father who should it be, should be chelsea or a great yorkshire club, my father said 'there isn't a great yorkshire club, stick with Chelsea son'.

A great profile of a great Chairman!, 12 Feb 2002

By A Customer

Anyone who appreciates what Peter Ridsdale has done for Leeds United over the past few years will appreciate this DVD. It's interesting to know what inspired Ridsdale to become Leeds United's leader and this includes everything from where he used to play as a kid to the chip shop he worked at! Sopranos fans will like the intro!
