Mad Dog is the riotous, adventurous and moving story of Mickey Lewis, one of English football's most combative midfielders and then one of the game's most inspirational coaches.

Drawing on more than 100 hours of interviews and with a foreword from Lewis's close friend Jim Rosenthal, this is an exploration of what Lewis's legacy can teach us about leadership, life and the game we love.

With a playing career that spanned two decades and 400 games, for his fans Lewis was 'Mad Dog': tamer of Gascoigne and, ultimately, an Oxford United legend. For Sir Bobby, allegedly, he ruined the beautiful game one tackle at a time.

After hanging up his boots, Mickey became one of football's most inspirational coaches. His great love for the game took him to Iowa and the burgeoning American soccer scene, to Wembley with Oxford United, and to nearly 20 Varsity Matches at the helm of the Oxford University 'Blues'.
