The Overcoat Men

How Two Unsung Heroes Thwarted a Secret Plan to Kill Off a Football Club

About this book

The story of two men who almost single-handedly saved their football club from extinction. In the 80s David Kilpatrick and Graham Morris spied architects' plans to turn Spotland, the home of their beloved, beleaguered Rochdale AFC, into a housing estate. They set about saving the club but first had to take on the 'enemy within' - fellow directors.
