When the Leeds United players celebrated winning the championship at Bramall Lane on 26 April 1992, they could not have had an inkling of how momentous the occasion was. Manchester United, losers at Liverpool that sunny Sunday afternoon, had now gone 25 years without winning the league. Howard Wilkinson's side, promoted just two seasons ago, could bring back the glory days to Leeds. But Wilkinson would prove to be the last English manager to win the league. Twenty years later,The Last Championslooks back in joy at the roots of that success but also in anger at the rollercoaster ride that has happened since. As in his acclaimed bookThe Fallen, Dave Simpson's quest to catch up with all the protagonists of the era sees him unearth some extraordinary untold stories. But he then begins to find Leeds to be a symbol of modern football times—Premier League to Champions League, boom to very bust—and asks, where did it all go wrong?
