Mucky Boots is a captivating tale that chronicles Kevin McCabe's two-decade journey as the owner-chairman of Sheffield United. Born and raised near Bramall Lane, the home of Sheffield United FC and Yorkshire County Cricket Club, McCabe's early years were marked by his passion for sports. Despite leaving school at the age of 16 and working on a construction site, McCabe's determination and resilience led him to create a multi-billion-pound global property empire. His ambition was fueled by a fierce desire to surpass his local rivals, Sheffield Wednesday, and secure a place for Sheffield United in the Premier League. McCabe's takeover of Sheffield United was driven by his unwavering determination to achieve this goal. Along the way, he faced numerous challenges, including a contentious dispute with then-co-owner Prince Abdullah. However, a chance encounter led to McCabe's appointment of Chris Wilder as the Blades' manager in 2016. This decision proved to be a pivotal moment in the club's history, as Wilder's managerial skills and tactical acumen helped the Blades achieve promotion to the Premier League. However, as the Blades returned to the top flight, McCabe and Wilder's relationship soured, and they ultimately contributed to each other's downfall and departure from the club they had both come to love. Mucky Boots delves into the intricate dynamics of football management, the cutthroat nature of the Premier League, and the human drama that unfolds within the world of sports. It is a story of ambition, determination, and the consequences of success and failure.
