Involved in football for almost sixty years (he joined Fulham in 1950) as a player at First Division and international level (21 caps), and as a coach and international coach (1982-90), he was much loved and respected throughout the world of football. As well as the triumphs, capturing the FA Cup and UEFA Cup with Ipswich, two exhilarating World Cup campaigns with England, and winning three cups and the respect of the fans at Barcelona, he has had his share of drama and despair. He was sacked from his first management position at Fulham and again later on in his career from both Sporting Lisbon and Newcastle United, and he was hounded by the press whilst England coach. Bob Harris, a close acquaintance of Sir Bobby's, tells the football manager's own story, which is exclusively interlarded with stories and anecdotes from many of the most famous names in football. Sir Bobby was a true legend and this is a tribute to his amazing life.

I bought this book for my brother, who is a Newcastle United fan and he loved it. Sir Bobby was a lovely man who I personally had the pleasure of meeting and he was a truly fantastic man and always had a smile on his face. My brother HIGHLY recommends this book!!!
