Turning My Back on the Premier League is the story of one fans journey from the riches of the worlds most popular football division- to the forgotten underbelly of the English football league. In the summer of 2013- devoted Manchester United fan Lee Price had a minor epiphany; in the warm afterglow of Uniteds 13th Premier League crown- he decided that enough was enough: from the increasing ticket prices and outright disregard of the typical fan- through to the rising wages and superficiality of the players he once called his heroes- Price could see Englands top division had sold its soul and it was time to do something about it. Relocating to the suburbs of east London- newspaper journalist Price began to follow his local team - League Twos Dagenham & Redbridge - and from the moment he set foot in Victoria Road- began to rediscover the true worth of a devout football fan. From the first game against Brentford on a wet summers day- to discussing the future of the club with its long-standing chairman- Turning My Back on the Premier League is a month-by-month account of great goals- bad pies and short-lived heroes- and how one fan rediscovered his love for the beautiful game....
