One of the few owners in history to gain control of a franchise by mortgaging nearly everything to his name, the longtime Philadelphia Flyers chairman would go on to form the billion-dollar empire of Comcast-Spectacor and cement his standing as one of the most influential businessmen in the city's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSnider was ambitious and entrepreneurial, though extraordinarily demanding of those who worked for him. He was affectionate with his loved ones, yet often showed a surprising lack of emotional intelligence. His staunch capitalist beliefs contrasted with his progressive-minded views on the business of hockey and in sharing his wealth with those in need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Last Sports Mogul\u003c\/em\u003e embraces all sides of Snider to form a complex portrait of the unparalleled figure once named Philadelphia's greatest mover and shaker of the millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThoroughly researched and reported, this is a fascinating business story encompassing humble beginnings, unprecedented success, and the values one chooses at the end of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46825837822188,"sku":"9781629379845","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3131733482768.jpg?v=1758113579","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/ed-snider-by-alan-bass-9781629379845","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
