A definitive biography of Angelos Postecoglou, the soccer manager and former player who is the head coach of Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. When Ange Postecoglou became the first Australian to be appointed manager of an English Premier League Club he introduced his attacking style of play that was dubbed "Angeball" to the British football public. Fans of Celtic in Scotland had already seen it. Fans way back in South Melbourne saw its beginning. Fans in Brisbane, Australia, and Tokyo in Japan had seen it develop. 'Angeball' is a brand of all-out attacking football where goals are gold. It probably had its beginnings when the young son of a Greek migrant and his father were up in the middle of the night in Australia watching English football on TV. That son was Angelos Postecoglou and his path to the top-flight of football coaching began there and then. This is the story of Postecoglou's Angeball, from schoolboy glory at Prahran High School in Melbourne to taking charge of one of England's "Big Six" football clubs.
