Premier League Edwards was also part of the 'Big 5', who drove the formation of the Premier League and pulled away from the Football League. In 1985, he said that "smaller clubs are bleeding the game dry. For the sake of the game, they should be put to sleep". Personal life Edwards married Susan Lloyd Jones in Bucklow, Cheshire, in 1968. They have two children, James Louis born in 1969 and Lucinda Jane born in 1972. Controversy Affairs He has been subject to several newspaper allegations about his private life, alleging several affairs. It was also alleged that he used prostitutes while on club business, in Britain, Brazil and most recently in Switzerland. Toilet peeping incident Edwards received a police caution following an incident at the Mottram Hall Hotel, near Macclesfield, Cheshire, on 17 August 2002. A woman in her 40s alleged that he had entered the ladies toilets and spied under one of the cubicles at her. He resigned from the Manchester United board soon after news of the caution broke, and stepped down as chairman seven months later. After the incident, further witnesses came forward stating that they, too, had been victims of similar behaviour in toilets at Old Trafford. Careless driving In July 2005, Edwards was convicted of careless driving, having been involved in a head-on collision near Conwy, North Wales, that April. He had just left the A55 near Conwy golf club, and took a right-hand bend on the wrong side of the road. In a letter to the court, Edwards explained how he had assumed he was on a one-way road after leaving the expressway. The driver of the other car, a Vauxhall Corsa, was badly hurt in the crash, after his car had collided with Edwards's Mercedes-Benz. Edwards was fined £500 plus £45 in prosecution costs, as well as receiving five points on his driving licence.
