Product Description

Product Description

One of Britain’s greatest ever footballers, Bobby Lennox epitomises an era in which Celtic were the best and most successful football club in the UK. In May 1967, he and his fellow Lisbon Lions achieved footballing immortality when they lifted the European Cup – the first British side to do so. Lennox’s 300 goals for Celtic and Scotland make him the second-highest goalscorer in Celtic’s history and the highest since the Second World War. With the Scottish national side, Lennox famously scored the second goal in Scotland’s stunning 3-2 victory over England at Wembley in 1967, when the Scots became the first country to defeat the then world champions.

In this definitive autobiography, Lennox recounts with his famous dry wit and openness, his part in these extraordinary achievements, revealing aspects of his career which, until now, he has never previously made public.



About the Author
Bobby Lennox won the European Cup with Celtic in 1967. He also won 11 Scottish League Championship winner’s medals, eight Scottish Cup winner’s medals and five League Cup winner’s medals during a playing career at Celtic that spanned the 1960s to the 1980s and ended only with injury, at the age of 37. He won 10 Scottish Cups, was a coach at Celtic for 13 years and is now a matchday host at Parkhead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly readable, 3 Jul 2008
You don't have to be a Celtic fan (from the 60's) to enjoy this book.

This is a good football book about a great player playing for a great club when football was a great game & hadn't been seduced by TV, massive wages & superstar ego's. Pretty much the biography of a working class hero.

Sure enough, there were still lots of issues to contend with like the interfering, patrician directors at Celtic, the unbelievably cynical approach to the game by some of the Spanish & South American opposition & Bobby Lennox shows how he was effected by these, & other challenges, with candour.

Obviously Jock Stein is heavily featured within the chapters but, like the other main topics, Bobby handles the subject in an objective & honest way.

What comes through is how much of a one club player he really was & how the Lisbon Lions, possibly the greatest servants to the club, were poorly treated until it was almost too late.

The book itself is well written in an easy style & also has an interesting breakdown of the statistics of Bobby's career. I've never understood why he won so few caps for his country.

Highly recommended & a good partner to "Jock Stein, The Definitive Biography" by Archie Macpherson.
