From turning up at Wentworth in a smoking Peugeot to sitting in Trevor’s office discussing a contract, this is a story about belief, opportunity and leadership.

Jerry reflects on:
• Meeting Trevor for the first time
• Being signed from non-league at 27
• What Trevor was really like as a manager
• His eye for talent and attention to detail
• Why he could still demonstrate at 50+ better than most
A powerful insight into the man behind the name — and the impact he had on those he backed.
