I'd Do It All Again – Paperback edition

Revised and Updated in 2026 – In paperback for the first time

Sir Bob Murray is the former Chairman of Sunderland AFC and the visionary behind the Stadium, Academy and Beacon of Light, as well as playing a leading role in the development of Wembley Stadium and St George’s Park.

This is his story – from the terraced and dust-choked streets of 1950s Consett to building a kitchen and property empire, from boardroom battles at Roker Park to the creation of the magnificent Stadium of Light. 

A story of a remarkable philanthropist and advocate for education, who left school with little to no prospects but against all odds succeeded in business and provided the platform to turn a faltering football club into one ready to challenge in a new and exciting football era.

 A story so good that he’d do it all again!
