Local Hero: The Geoff Merrick Story

By Neil Palmer

Geoff Merrick turned down a host of top teams to sign for Bristol City. At 18, he became their youngest captain and led them to the top flight. But his life and career were thrown into turmoil when he and seven other players were asked to rip up their contracts to save the club from bankruptcy. Local Hero is the ultimate story of not giving up.
