Description
John and Patrick Cobbold were unique in British football. The brothers, who were nephews of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, presided over Ipswich Town Football Club from 1957 until 1994. Notoriously eccentric, the Old Etonians were pranksters who lived life with great passion, being particularly fond of football and alcohol. Closely involved with two of the greatest managers that this country has ever produced, Ramsey and Robson, the brothers played countless tricks on the pair and led many a young footballer astray with their hard drinking ways. The book is hilarious and crammed with anecdotes spanning 4 decades.
