Sinossi
The Southern League team of Weymouth FC were in dire straits: nearly half a million in the red, dogged by boardroom squabbles, a decrepit ground, falling turnouts and an end of season performance that saw them lose 5-1 to arch enemies, Yeovil Town. Join Ridley on his rollercoaster journey as he shows just what can be done with a dose of obsessive commitment and unstinting optimism. It's a story of political backstabbing and petty rivalry; of euphoric highs and personal pain; of a man that thought that it should be simpler. Who thought that football - that Weymouth - deserved better. Brilliantly observed, infused with Ridley's trademark wit and peppered with fascinating insights into the machinations of boardroom football, FLOODLIT DREAMS is a compelling journey into the hinterland of the beautiful game.

* 'As one player, lamenting [Ian's] departure, is quoted as saying: "I've never seen anyone in football that loves their club like you."' DAILY TELEGRAPH
Dalla quarta di copertina
As a boy Ian Ridley dreamt of lining up for his home football team. As a man he was about to embark on the biggest challenge of his life - to take on the role of Chairman and save what was left of the team that had fuelled those childhood dreams.
It was a Herculean task. The Southern League club of Weymouth FC were in dire straits: more than a quarter of a million in the red, dogged by boardroom squabbles, a decrepit ground, falling turnouts and a team that had just avoided relegation. But with his father's death still a recent, painful memory, Ian was determined to save the club that had united the Ridley men to the last.
Moving, illuminating and frequenty astounding, Floodlit Dreams speaks to the sons and daughters who stood on the terraces - and who remember what football is really about.
'His best-written book yet...and that is saying something...a warm and witty tale of how a supporter can be true to his emotional legacy' Sunday Telegraph
Ian Ridley is the chief football writer for the Mail on Sunday and co-author of the Tony Adam's memoir, Addicted.
