The inside story of one football's club's astonishing revival.
In early July 2018, Aston Villa were staring into the abyss.
Locked in a cash crisis triggered by defeat in the Championship play-off final, one of English football’s most historic and successful clubs stood on the brink of financial catastrophe.
Yet less than six years later, Villa were celebrating qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Waking The Giant takes you inside one of the most extraordinary revival acts in modern football, from the last-minute takeover by billionaire duo Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens which saved the club, through the promotion and equally remarkable Premier League survival inspired by boyhood supporter Dean Smith, right up to the present day and their return to the European elite under Unai Emery.
It is a tale of triumph plucked from the jaws of despair, several times over, with Villa frequently defying the odds to keep climbing and reclaim their place at English football’s top table.
From club record runs to great escapes from relegation and British record transfers, this is a rollercoaster ride not to be missed.
