Roger Terrell has practised as a lawyer for more than twenty-five
years. Over his long, varied and often controversial career, he has
represented a wide range of clients from all walks of life. These
clients have managed to get themselves involved in a myriad of
legal issues ranging from the most serious criminal allegations to
the most unbelievable, factual situations. Then by a chance meeting
with a client involved in professional sport, he became a football
agent and subsequently chairman of two football league clubs. In
this book, he shares with us his true stories and fascinating
behind the scenes accounts of his life and times including:- The
inside story, emotions and tactics involved in representing a
client charged with the most serious crime - murder, and in this
particular case, more distressingly the murder of his wife. The
drama of representing a client falsely arrested on suspicion of
being a member of the IRA and being involved in a conspiracy to
cause a serious explosion in Manchester, which injured two hundred
innocent people. The legal problems and human consequences arising
from arranged and forced marriages in Pakistan and Bangladesh. A
range of interesting cases highlighting the legal problems
encountered in the breakdown of relationships, including cases
where possession of family pets is sometimes more important than
financial issues. The ups and downs as acting as a FIFA registered
agent, dealing with professional footballers, big name managers and
how the "bung" system works. The controversy and politics involved
in the acquisition of two football league clubs and his subsequent
appointment as chairman of both clubs, one appointment lasting just
one day as their fans rioted. Overcoming serious illness on not
one, but two occasions. Interaction with the national and local
media and how to sell a story to the paparazzi. Definitely "An
Unusual Brief"
