OverviewIllustrious Australian football coach David O'Connor has arrived in Singapore to very little fanfare. His love for the game and desire to develop the tiny country's fledgling professional league in a big way has seen him accepting terms he's less than thrilled about - that is, if his contract even materializes. He faces the daunting task of rebuilding a team whose spirit and confidence is in shatters. He has to bridge cultural divides and finds a way to inspire his team to believe in him, the game, and importantly, themselves and each other. And slowly but surely Gombak United begins to ascend from the bottom of the league table, soon recognized as a force to be reckoned with. But at the height of his success, David is suddenly dropped from the team, marking the start of his downward spiral into drink and womanizing. His journey is fraught with difficulties, leaving him with broken ventures and financial troubles. But David is a fighter, and in a country that seems intent to break him - and jail him even - he is determined to rise again Full Product DetailsAuthor: David O'ConnorPublisher: Marshall Cavendish International (Asia) Pte Ltd Imprint: Marshall Cavendish International (Asia) Pte Ltd ISBN: 9789814302968ISBN 10: 9814302961 Pages: 320 Publication Date: 22 August 2012 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
