Close Quarters is the inspirational, against the odds story of
Wycombe Wanderers, the poorest club in League One, and how it
shapes into a side that sustains a nine-month challenge for
promotion before the global pandemic stops the team in its tracks.
When the season restarts, Wycombe finds itself in the play-offs
behind closed doors, an unprecedented opportunity through
unprecedented turmoil. Led by the longest-serving boss in
professional football, the charismatic Gareth Ainsworth, this
becomes an astonishing campaign, witnessed up close by
award-winning sportswriter Neil Harman thanks to his special
access. Harman gets to the heart of the team, joins them in the
dressing room, on the coach, in the medical room and in team
meetings to chart this unparalleled challenge. He gets the inside
story of Ainsworth's rise from a working-class upbringing on the
back streets of Blackburn, through a rumbustious playing career, to
a one-club manager moulding Wycombe while dealing with an American
takeover that could make the difference between the club's life and
death. Close Quarters is a book that resonates, not just with
Wycombe supporters, but fans of underdog clubs everywhere.
